Does anyone have or know where there is data on the yield strength of expanded polystyrene under compressive load? Basically I'm trying to determine how much deformation occurs under given pressures and what is the max deformation before crushing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

There's stuff on the web:

However, the degree of expansion makes a pretty big difference. The stuff used for to-go boxes is nowhere near the same as the stuff used for transporting refrigerated medical supplies.
