In engineering mechanics, deflection is a term that is used to describe the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a force. The deflection of a member under a load is directly related to the slope of the deflected shape of the member under that load and can be calculated by integrating the function that mathematically descri...
deflection is also used as a military term for firing artillery rounds....it includes both range and windage....Deflection is a tactic used in battle that describes "leading the target"; that is, shooting ahead of a moving target so that the target and projectile will collide....
In physics deflection is the event where an object collision and bounces against a plane surface.In such collisions involving a sphere and a Plane , the collision angle formed with the surface normal must equal the bounce angle , ...
Electrostatic deflection refers to a technique for modifying the path of a stream of charged particles by the use of an electric field applied transverse to the path of the particles....
Deflection in chess is a tactic that forces a piece of your opponent to leave the square, row or file where it has to remain, because it is needed there to defend the king or a valuable piece....
