Definition that contains deformation
- creep a slow longitudinal movement or deformation
- strain (physics) deformation of a physical body under the action of applied forces
- shear (physics) a deformation of an object in which parallel planes remain parallel but are shifted in a direction parallel to themselves
- resilience the physical property of a material that can return to its original shape or position after deformation that does not exceed its elastic limit
- fas a congenital medical condition in which body deformation occurs or facial development or mental ability is impaired because the mother drinks alcohol during pregnancy
