Suitability of a structure or machine may depend on the defo

Suitability of a structure or machine may depend on the deformations in the structure as well as the stresses induced under loading.

Solution

True. If we need a less deformed member we may need to give high preference to the material and it is to be designed for less deforms. And also suitability also depends on stress induced under loading> if we have high stress then we need to select a structure such that it can withstand those stress otherwise we can select lo stress structure.
