ZONE CISAILLEMENT [5 records]

Record 1 2010-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
DEF

A tabular zone of rock that has been crushed and brecciated by many parallel fractures due to shear strain.

CONT

A prominent element of this deformation is the east-north-east-trending South Range shear zone that transects the southern part of the Sudbury basin.

OBS

Such an area is often mineralized by ore-forming solution.

OBS

shear zone: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tectonique
CONT

Une entité importante résultant de cette déformation est la zone de cisaillement de South Range, de direction est-nord-est, qui recoupe la partie sud du bassin de Sudbury.

OBS

zone de cisaillement : terme en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.

Record 4 2002-02-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Glaciology
DEF

A region in which ice forms in a shifting and sliding blanket not attached to either the ice formed along the coast or the polar ice pack.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Glaciologie
CONT

La zone de cisaillement s'étend au-delà de la glace de rive, vers le large; elle est produite par le déplacement du pack contre la glace littorale qui est accrochée à la côte.

Record 5 2001-02-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aerodynamics and Theory of Gases
CONT

Shear layers can be made unstable so that they fluctuate and roll up into discrete vortical structures. The shape of the velocity profile is the key to determining stability.

PHR

Shear layer equation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Théorie des gaz et aérodynamique
CONT

On veut étudier à l'aide de Fluent une zone de mélange (zone de cisaillement entre deux fluides animés de deux vitesses différentes). Cet écoulement a été étudié en cours de turbulence dans le cadre des écoulements cisaillés plans.
