Italian term

direzione o senso o verso

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Patents
I've been told that these are synonyms, but them why are they all there?

le strutture aventi una conformazione auxetica hanno un comportamento per cui un’eventuale sforzo meccanico applicato su di essi volto ad ottenerne una compressione o dilatazione in una ***direzione o in un senso/verso***, corrisponde una compressione o dilatazione anche nel ***senso o direzione*** perpendicolare a quella di applicazione dello sforzo meccanico stesso (al contrario di quanto avviene in una struttura “isotropa”, in cui una data sollecitazione in una ***direzione o senso o verso*** determina riconfigurazioni geometriche deformative equiverse in due direzioni fra loro perpendicolari.

direction or orientation

senso and direzione are synonyms but verso is not - it's a real killer for us native Anglos but the difference is mathematical /geometrical and means orientation see ref. belowe
