What Does CAI Stand For?
CAI stands for Compression After Impact
CAI, or Compression After Impact, refers to a phenomenon where materials or structures experience changes in their mechanical properties following an impact event. This process is characterized by the alteration of stress and strain characteristics, leading to potential enhancements or reductions in strength and durability. Understanding CAI is crucial in fields such as aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering, where impacts can significantly affect the safety and integrity of components.
