[PSUBS-MAILIST] definition

[Sean T. Stevenson via Personal_Submersibles]

That would be the crush strength in consideration of uniformly applied external pressure (i.e. hydrostatic pressure due to immersion depth) only, and does not consider stress concentration effects from non-uniform loading, as is the case when any surface points of contact exist, or if any mechanical load (tension, compression, torque or bending) is applied either directly or through a matrix material to which the sphere is bonded.
