The bending of a building material as a result of wear and tear or contact with a substance, such as water.

Definite folds, creases, or wrinkles formed on the surface of the pipe or tube during the bending operation.

The phenomenon when PSA tape ripples and causes an opening or gaps between layers in the manufacturing process.

A carpet that does not lay flat on the floor and has ridges. In properly installed carpeting, buckling or rippling should rarely occur. A power-stretcher (not a knee-kicker) should be used to correct the situation when this issue does arise.  Visit www.carpet-rug.org

Ridged distortions in the support or paint layers. Buckling is often associated with cracks, cleavage, and flaking.

An operation for Retinal Detachment which reduces the size of the globe by indenting the Sclera so that it approximates the Retina.

A structural deformation or failure often characterized by bending, twisting or bowing, typically as the result of overloading or swelling from moisture saturation.

The warping or bending of material as a result of the drying process.

A mode of failure caused by instability in a structural member, as increasing load leads to distortion out of the plane of the applied force. This can happen to columns and also beams that are not laterally restrained.

Limit state of sudden change in the geometry of a structure or any of its elements under a critical loading condition.
