Organize Deformation like Stress? edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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

See also edit

Defamation (slander or libel)
