OT compresive strenghs of materials

[GREIF]

Hi
looking for a place to get compresive strenghs of materials. I looked at matweb.com but they do not have comprsive strengths, unless it is called something else. Can anyone lead me in the right direction.
thanks

Are you looking for a specific material? There is a mechanical engineering forum and a materials/metallurgy forum here on Eng-Tips. One of those may be suited to answer any specific question.

What are you trying to do? If you're trying to calculate if a colum will buckle you will need Euler's slenderness ratio, Modulus of Elasticity, and Moment of Inertia.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

If you have access to Roark's formulas for stress and strain check chapter 14. This chapter goes into great detail on elastic stability of compression members
