deformation

The claim relates to deformation of the ship's hull, which has required months of remedial work.

And governing body the FIA has introduced tougher tests for China after analysing footage from cameras aimed at studying rear wing deformation in Melbourne.

The liquid flow of the outer core as well as pull from an uneven gravity field may cause deformation.

A material with this sensitivity could be valuable for engineering applications in which large-scale forces need to be measured, as in monitoring building deformations, or in biological research to characterize forces in cells.

“There would be earthquakes galore and ground deformation. It wouldn’t be a single feature that had an explosion — there would be changes all over the place.”
