Please tell me how to make a water prism to test compressive strength and deformation resistance. Water is an incompressible fluid, that is different.

These are well understood terms in the field. Unfortunately, this illustrates the bounds of ai in subfields like materials: it confuses people.

I'm not saying water meets the strict definition of a material with high compressive strength (it does meet some, since it resists forces that attempt to decrease its volume well). I am just using as an extreme example of the issues with the concept of compressive strength.
