Everything about Deflection (engineering)
Degree to which part of a structural element is displaced under a given load
In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element is deformed laterally under a load. It may be quantified in terms of an angle or a distance . A longitudinal deformation is called elongation. Wikipedia →
