Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: Deformation on Objects of Forms
Examples below show the type of deformation on a shape or object.
Crumpling
Crumpling occurs when a force acts on an object straight on, and if the shape has an equal shape and strength.
Bending
Bending is a deformation that can be either one sided, an angled pull or push. It mainly occurs in induced damages. Since the bend is not always very visual it can be difficult to be detected. By removing the direct impart parts it can also return to its original shape due to elastic deformation. This will depend on the force and material as well.
Folding
Folding occurs if a larger force is applied to an object or part which has gone past its yield strength. It is also caused if a force comes from an angle or a side.
Range or extent of Damage
Recognize the extent of the damage for the entire vehicle and each part to understand the overall extent of damage from the two viewpoints of "the extent of damage to the out panels and exterior parts" and "extent of damage to the inner panels and frame.
Extent of Damage for Outer Panels & Exterior Parts .
Inspect from what area or part and to which area or part the direct or indirect damage has occurred including its surroundings
Extent of Damage for Inner Panels & Frame
Inspect deeper in to the inner parts which were caused by the direct damage and indirect damage to the inner panels and frame parts.
Level of Damage
After recognizing the extent of the damage to the whole vehicle, inspect the level of damage by looking for bends, dents, cracks, deformations, waves or twisted parts in individual parts or areas.
Deformations on Panels
Elastic Deformation
If you apply light force to a panel and it deforms lightly, and once released. it returns to its original shape or form, this is called elastic deformation. If the panel gets elast ...
Distortions on Structures
We will look at the different forces acting on part deformations according to the direction the force is applied considering the three elements of force. We will be looking at the basics with a hammer ...
