Organize Deformation like Stress?
[edit]Browsing the lively debate on organizing deformations, I am still wanting to see a common category that admits "we are all about squishing and stretching stuff like metal and plastic and air." Here is a solution that copies Stress disambiguation:
Deformation may refer to:
Mechanical
[edit]
- Deformation (engineering), a change in the shape of an object due to applied force (introductory)
- Deformation (mechanics), where deformation is treated as the displacement of a continuum body
- Plastic deformation in solids, scientific treatment of an object's internal properties relating to the force needed to cause a permanent change in shape
- Deformation (meteorology), important in the formation of atmospheric fronts
Biological
[edit]
- Deformity, in medicine, a major difference in the shape of body part or organ compared to the average shape of that part
Mathematical
[edit]
- Deformation theory, in mathematics
