transformation of a body from a reference configuration to a current configuration

AI overview

Deformation is when an object changes shape or size from how it looked originally to how it looks now. Understanding deformation matters because it helps engineers and scientists predict how materials will behave when forces are applied to them, which is crucial for designing safe structures and products.
