(physics) The potential energy stored in a body due to elastic deformation

(chemistry) In medium-sized ring compounds, the strain due to repulsive interactions between substituents attached to non-adjacent ring atoms.

A layer of silicon atoms deposited onto a substrate of silicon germanium constrained to be wider apart than normal; this decreases resistance and increases performance when made into a chip.

(physics) The relative elongation of a material when subjected to tension.

(archaic, rare) dim-witted; lacking intelligence

To go beyond what courtesy requires; to insist somewhat too much upon the precedence of others.

The amount of strain which can cause something to break, according to the force or weight placed on it. Many materials, such as lines and ropes, have a specified breaking strain.

plural of breaking strain

plural of transannular strain
