Контекст: "The compliance method of crack size monitoring can
be used during fatigue crack growth rate testing." "The relationship between compliance (which is the
reciprocal of the force-displacement slope normalized for
elastic modulus and specimen thickness) and crack size has
been analytically derived for a number of standard specimens."
"Specimen compliance is the ratio of the change in specimen displacement to the change in force carried by the specimen (Dv/DP) during the test."

Может ли это быть "метод определения податливости"? Нашла в интернете такое определение: "Податливость определяется по формуле С=v/P, т .е. она определяется относительным перемещением точек приложения нагрузки."
