deformaatioon
Deformaatioon, often translated as deformation, refers to the change in shape or size of a body that results from applied forces, temperature changes, or other external influences. It describes how a material or structure responds internally to stresses, rather than the overall movement of the object in space. Deformation can occur in solids, liquids, and soft tissues and is a central concept in fields such as engineering, geology, and biomechanics.
Deformation is commonly categorized by its reversibility. Elastic deformation is reversible: when the applied load is
The driving factors of deformation are forces or conditions that produce stress within the material. Stress
Deformation is measured using tools like strain gauges, digital image correlation, and interferometric methods. It has
