It is hard to imagine a material strong enough to maintain residual stresses this high! Maybe in diamond? And what happens when it fractures and all comes apart

- lumost 6y agoLooks like some recent synthetic diamonds manage pressure in the TPa regime! 1 order of magnitude higher than that required for this experiment. https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/2/7/e1600341 https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/2/7/e1600341
- peterwoerner 6y agoMaterials do a little better under compression than tension. But yea, 267 GPa is a lot. The working stress for most high strength metals is about 1 GPa. With that being said under shock conditions for instance. That said you can locally get huge stresses without out breaking the material.
