deflection analysis
[dɪˈflɛkʃən əˈnæləsɪs]
nounpl: deflection analyses
análise de deflexão
1. A structural engineering method to calculate the amount of displacement or bending that occurs in a beam, frame, or other structural element when subjected to loads
The engineer performed a deflection analysis to ensure the bridge could safely support the design load without excessive sagging.
O engenheiro realizou uma análise de deflexão para garantir que a ponte pudesse suportar com segurança a carga de projeto sem flecha excessiva.
2. The mathematical and computational evaluation of how structures bend or deform under applied forces
Deflection analysis revealed that the reinforced concrete beam would bend only 2 centimeters under maximum load.
A análise de deflexão revelou que a viga de concreto armado se flexionaria apenas 2 centímetros sob carga máxima.
Deflection analysis is a critical component of structural engineering practice in both Brazil and the USA, primarily used by civil engineers, architects, and construction professionals to ensure structural safety and serviceability. The term is predominantly used in technical and academic contexts rather than in everyday language. In Brazil, it is commonly discussed in engineering courses and professional certifications such as CREA (Conselho Regional de Engenharia e Agronomia) standards.
