👉 Dilatometrically, a term that refers to the process of changing or altering an object's size or shape by applying a force or pressure. It involves manipulating the object in such a way that it changes its dimensions and form as a result of the applied force or pressure. This can be done through various means, including applying forces perpendicular to a surface (e.g., stretching), parallel to a surface (e.g., bending), or both at the same time (e.g., rotating).
