noun
Plural of deflection
Exact(60)
Having no redundant components, calculating the forces carried by the various members, the deflections they cause, the shear stresses involved and the bending moments around their joints could be be done by applying simple Newtonian mechanics.
A spate of recent research points toward mixed findings: that controls can be useful and justified in some cases, that deflections of capital to other markets aren't necessarily a bad thing, but that controls are often blunt instruments and would benefit from international coordination:A more co-ordinated approach might mitigate the risks of the nastier spillover effects.
Investors also reduced their exposure to other economies deemed likely to follow the Brazilian example, but increased their allocation of money to other markets that, like Brazil, are closely linked to Chinese growth.Such deflections are not necessarily bad, according to a new IMF discussion paper by Mr Ostry, Atish Ghosh and Mr Korinek.
Likewise, deflections both local and overall must be kept within safe limits.
If all the parts of a machine are comparatively rigid members whose deflections under load are negligible, then the constrainment may be considered complete and the relative motions of the parts can be studied without considering the forces that produce them.
While undergoing large-angle deflections, fast electrons can radiate part of their energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation known as bremsstrahlung, or braking radiation.
Starting about 1910, however, engineers began to recognize that concrete dams are monolithic three-dimensional structures in which the distribution of stress and the deflections of individual points depend on stresses and deflections of many other points in the structure.
On the other hand, alloying does not normally affect the elastic modulus of metals significantly, so that automotive door panels or hoods made from aluminum alloys, all of which have approximately one-third the modulus of steel, would be floppy and suffer large deflections when buffeted by the wind, for example.
A typical fast-electron track deviates considerably from a straight line, and deflections through large angles are not uncommon.
In their experiment Stern and Gerlach found only two deflections, not the continuous distribution of deflections that would have been seen if the magnetic moment had been oriented in any direction.
In an electrocardiogram (ECG, or EKG), the beginning of ventricular systole is marked by the deflections of the QRS complex.
