No. I dont agree with Deepak. This confusion can best be
sorted in terms of FEM. Displacement is movement of a node due to
application of some BC. Deformation is cumulative Displacement. For
Eg, suppose on a linear Bar, there are 10 nodes. At node 1, we get
what is known as displacement. But at Node 10, we get deformation.
ie, disp @ node 1 + disp @ node 2+.......disp @ node 10 =
deformation. I hope I am clear.
Deepak is free to disagree with me

Displacement is movement from one point to another point with the application of force/pressure
