1. deformation

   Deformation refers to the alteration or change in the shape or size of an object due to applied forces or conditions such as stress, pressure, temperature, etc. It can be temporary or permanent, depending on the object's material properties and the intensity and duration of the applied forces. This term is commonly used in physics, engineering, geology and related fields.

1. Deformation

   In materials science, deformation is a change in the shape or size of an object due to an applied force or a change in temperature. The first case can be a result of tensile forces, compressive forces, shear, bending or torsion. In the second case, the most significant factor, which is determined by the temperature, is the mobility of the structural defects such as grain boundaries, point vacancies, line and screw dislocations, stacking faults and twins in both crystalline and non-crystalline solids. The movement or displacement of such mobile defects is thermally activated, and thus limited by the rate of atomic diffusion. Deformation is often described as strain. As deformation occurs, internal inter-molecular forces arise that oppose the applied force. If the applied force is not too large these forces may be sufficient to completely resist the applied force, allowing the object to assume a new equilibrium state and to return to its original state when the load is removed. A larger applied force may lead to a permanent deformation of the object or even to its structural failure.
