Prerequisites

What you need to understand first.

  • Motion L1 (requires)
    Understanding motion helps understand force-related concept deformation
  • Force L2 (requires)
    Deformation is the change in shape or size of a material or structure when subjected to stress, force, or pressure.
  • Form L2 (requires)
    Understanding form is essential for grasping deformation
  • Permanent L3 (requires)
    Deformation: A permanent or temporary change in the shape or size of a material or structure resulting from applied stress, force, or pressure.
  • Temporary L3 (requires)
    Deformation: A permanent or temporary change in the shape or size of a material or structure resulting from applied stress, force, or pressure.
