What is another word for deformation?
Pronunciation: [dɪfɔːmˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Deformation is a term used to describe the physical changes that take place when an object is subjected to stress or pressure. There are several synonyms for deformation, including distortion, contortion, warping, and bending. Each of these terms describes a different aspect of deformation, with distortion referring to changes in shape, contortion describing twisting or bending, warping indicating a change in the overall structure or form, and bending highlighting the specific action of bending at a single point. Other related terms include compression, which describes the reduction in size that can occur during deformation, and strain, which refers to the amount of deformation that occurs relative to the original shape of the object.
