Tensile Stress vs. Compressive Stress: The Key Differences

Tensile stresses tend to pull the atoms of a material apart, while compressive stresses tend to push them together. Each of these possible stresses must be accounted for in product design. Learn more about tensile stress vs compressive stress here.
