Abstract
Deformation is the change in the size or shape of a body after it undergoes a displacement between an initial or undeformed state and a deformed configuration. In general, the displacement of a continuum body has two components: a rigid-body displacement component and a deformation component. If after a displacement of the continuum there is a relative displacement between particles, a deformation has occurred. On the other hand, if after displacement of the continuum the relative displacement between particles in the current configuration is zero i.e. the distance between particles remains unchanged, then there is no deformation and a rigid-body displacement is said to have occurred.
A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon in which the muscle fibers tear as a result of overstretching. Strains are also colloquially known as pulled muscles. The equivalent injury to a ligament is a sprain.
A machine organized as a network of processes of production of components which through their interactions and transformations continuously regenerate and realize the network of processes (relations) that produced them; and constitute the machine as a concrete unity in space in which the components exist by specifying the topological domain of its realization as such a network.
