Physical compression, the result of the subjection of a
material to compressive stress (the opposite of tension)
Compression member, a class of structural elements, of which
a column is the most common specific example
Compressibility, the reciprocal of the bulk modulus (typically
for solids)
Gas compression, raising the pressure and reducing the volume
of gases
Compression ratio, a number that predicts the performance
of any internal-combustion engine
Compressibility, a measure of volume change resulting from
pressure (typically for fluids)
Compression (geology), a system of forces that tend to decrease
the volume of or shorten rocks
In information science:
Data compression, the process of encoding information using
fewer bits
Image compression
Audio data compression
Video compression
Compression artifact, noticeable defects in audio or video
that has been compressed
Bandwidth compression, in telecommunications
Gain compression, in electronic amplifiers, a result of
device non-linearity
Audio level compression, usually artificially introduced
gain compression to improve the perceived quality of audio
In other sciences and technologies:
Compression, in zoology and paleontology, refers to when
an animal, or part of an animal, is shorter or narrower
compared with other animals in the same group; e.g. the
body of a lizard may be compressed (flattened) so it can
better fit into crevices under rocks
Compression (functional analysis), in mathematics
Compression bandage, designed to reduce the flow of blood
