deflection measurement

Deflection measurement assesses how much a material or structure bends or moves when subjected to a force or load. It helps engineers understand the flexibility, strength, and safety of the material or structure by quantifying its deformation under stress. This is typically done using specialized tools that record the amount of displacement at specific points, providing data to ensure designs can withstand expected forces without excessive bending or failure. Accurate deflection measurement is essential for maintaining structural integrity and safety in engineering, construction, and material testing.
