  "term": "Buckle",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A localized, wave-like deformation or bulge in a structural member caused by compressive stress exceeding the material's elastic limit. This failure mode appears as a bend, fold, or wrinkle, and it compromises the component's structural integrity without fracturing the material itself. Thin-walled columns, plates, and beams are particularly susceptible to buckling under axial or bending loads.",
