[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7011518, member: 996"] Here's the most technical definition of "crunch" I could find: "... a property manifested by a tendency when subjected to an applied force to yield suddenly with a characteristic sound. ... usually associated with sharp triangular curves displaying an obvious break point (when tested individually) or produce a 'jagged' multi-peak curve when tested 'in bulk'. The number of peaks produced are as a result of the fracture events that have occurred during the test. Counting the number of force peaks, the average dropoff and measuring linear distance are common calculations applied to such curves.... [ "Crunch" is ] usually associated with many [] fracture peaks [with] the drop from peak to trough [significant] and the linear distance increased accordingly." Hope that helps. ;| Maybe it's my settings, but I don't see any names associated with it. But, really, all three answers are subject to potential shaming - munchkin, apologist, or grognard. I don't think you could drown in crunch. You might choke on fluff, though. [/QUOTE]
