  • tahke keha ühe või mitme joonmõõtme, pindala või ruumala vähenemine (vt dilatatsioon; vrd paisumine)
    Good to know
    • Kontraktsioon/kokkutõmbumine võib olla lineaarne, pindalaline või ruumalaline, olenevalt sellest, kas väheneb pikkus, pindala või ruumala.
  • decrease in one or more linear dimension, surface area, or volume of a solid body (see: dilation; compare: expansion)
    Good to know
    • Contraction can be described as linear, areal, or volumetric, depending on whether the decrease is in length, surface area, or volume.
