corrugation
Parallel grooves pattern
Corrugation is the pattern of parallel ridges and grooves formed when material is shaped into waves.
Corrugated cardboard and corrugated metal roofing gain strength from this structure—the folds resist bending better than flat sheets.
The word also describes the act of creating such ridges: The machine handles the corrugation of steel panels.
