If no resistance is set up against deformation in the body, then it isknown as a mechanism.
EK604
When a system of loads is applied to an elastic body, it will deform and will show a resistance against deformation. Such a body is known as a structure.
EK541
Passive confinement is engaged only after crack deformations in the concrete ring develop that induce tension forces in the surrounding steel. The surrounding steel restricts the propagation and widening of […]

The ductility of a material describes the amount of deformation that precedes fracture.
EK469
For many materials there is additional time-dependent deformation that is recoverable. This is called viscoelastic or anelastic deformation.
EK445
Thin shell should also satisfy the following conditions: Shearing stresses normal to the middle surface are negligible. Points on a normal to the middle surface before it is deformed lie […]
EK440
Relaxation is a decrease in load or stress under a sustained constant deformation.
EK430
Collapse mechanism is a term applying to the state of the structure approaching total collapse. The mechanism condition is reached when a sufficient number of plastic hinges have developed and, […]
EK346
For plane strain problems, no deformation is allowed in the out-of-plane direction.
EK245
The modulus of elasticity is a measure of stiffness, or the resistance of the material to deformation.
EK77
When the deflections of the plates middle plane is small compared with the thickness it can be assumed that: There is no deformation in the middle plane. The normals of […]

Prying action results when flexural deformation occurs in the tee flange or angle leg of the connection.
