A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the skeleton in most vertebrate animals.

A material is brittle if, when subjected to stress, it fractures with little elastic deformation and without significant plastic deformation. Compressive strength and Brittleness are materials science.

Compression (physics)

In mechanics, compression is the application of balanced inward ("pushing") forces to different points on a material or structure, that is, forces with no net sum or torque directed so as to reduce its size in one or more directions.

Compressive stress

In long, slender structural elements — such as columns or truss bars — an increase of compressive force F leads to structural failure due to buckling at lower stress than the compressive strength. Compressive strength and compressive stress are materials science.

Hooke's law

In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, where is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
