Has anyone calced destruction values for types of wood? I know a couple of feats that involve large logs/entire trees being completely destroyed

Check the door calc on my blog, there are values of fragmentation and pulverization of wood

Done
 
Sure.

  • Bending steel
  • Bending rebar
  • Denting cars with physical strikes to the point where holes start to form
  • Splitting trees in half
  • Breaking a tire in half like in the Bollywood movies and like Reeve Superman

What about destroying or crushing a diamond and wrecking a thick metal table?
For the table part, we'll have to gather the dimensions of a high-end office table made of strong oak (FYI, tables like these are more commonly broken in fiction).

Then, using the same dimensions, we just swap in the frag values of oak for steel.

What about a diamond crushing calc?
 
We'll have to find the dimensions of the diamond and its energy values first.

That's for tearing aka pulling it apart, crushing(pulverization) would be 110,000 j/cc
Aha indeed, 1200 is for fragmentation.

I calculated the steel rod to be Wall level. One of the links contains a slur word however, and I'm asking Antvasima can he help me bypass the filter.

Atomisation energy of diamond is 210081 J/cc

Given diamond is already "luxuriously structured carbon", the given pulverisation energy makes sense.
 
Unfortunately the only way for me to bypass the filter is to remove the word in question, and then important members would sooner or later get banned for long periods by the Fandom staff.
 
Probably be good for a content mod or above to remove/replace/censor that word. Though we'd need to know what that word is. Don't actually say the word obviously, but show a censored version or a meaning of the word to help know which one.
 
It is the c-word for female genitalia.
 
Yeah, not quite sure why that would be there or how that got their. If someone could edit that, it be best to remove that word.

Source of that btw?

Because if that is true then it would result in a very high lifting strength (not surprising though as even crushing a stone is Class 100).

110 000 j/cc = 110 000 MPa

MPa = N/mm^2

The human hand is 0.054 m^2 or 54 000 mm^2.

110000*54000 = 5.94e9 Newtons

6.0550458715596330275e8 kilograms, or Class M

I guess crushing skulls, if calculated this way would get a high result as well?

Compressive strength of bone is 170 MPa. Assuming a surface area of a hand again, or 54 000 mm^2, that's 9180000 Newtons or 9.3577981651376146789e5 Joules, Class K.

There is nothing wrong with this formula though. (Discussion thread about this). It's just that it gives higher results than expected.

Class M Deadpool here I come???
 
http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/diamond/diamprop.htm it's the same source you're using, check strength, compressive 110 GPa or 110,000 MPa

Also, when measuing lifting strength you use the cross-sectional area of the object, only use hand surface area if the object is larger than it.

For skulls this doesn't work as its cross sectional area is actually really small compared to larger bones, also hollowness makes it so it is easier to shatter since the force is not evenly distributed.

Common fictional portrayals of a skull crush are actually like the one from Game of Thrones, according to this site a force of 500 pounds can "crush" a skull.

Class M and Class K would only theoretically apply to crushing a solid, hand-sized chunk of diamond and bone respectively.

Demn. So bending rebar gets you Class M lifting power now? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet.
