0 the action of spoiling the usual and true shape of something, or a change in its usual and true shape: --
Evidently the film thickens with increasing capillary number owing t o the attendant increase in deformation.
From the extent of the substrate deformations, visualized by bead imaging, they determined the force exerted by the cells.
How exactly the protein induces such deformations has been discussed.
Pressures were chosen to produce a deformation for the elastic constants that were used.
Our opinion is that elastic deformation and frequency of present modes are consequences of the overall dynamics motion of the robotic system.
The present book is very much concerned with recognition where there may be elastic deformation.
Factors of a compliance matrix including all elastic deformations.
Thus, we propose a stiffness analysis method for parallel mechanisms, which takes into account elastic deformations of parts and bearings.
