Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)

DEF

A valve used in liquid-powered systems to allow normal speed of operation in one direction and limited speed in another.

CONT

An orifice check valve may be included in a hydraulic landing gear actuator system. When the gear is raised, the check valve allows full fluid flow to lift the heavy gear at maximum speed. When lowering the gear, the orifice in the check valve prevents the gear from violently dropping by restricting fluid flow out of the actuating cylinder.

Record 4 2012-08-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Design
DEF

That property of a technical system that makes it able to do something.

CONT

Every technical system has a purpose ... Every technical system exhibits a behavior which is determined by its mode of action and its structure ... The intended behavior is called the system's function.

CONT

A common failing in problem definition is to overemphasize the specification of certain property values and performance parameters. The design is then forced to take a predetermined path. A better approach is to specify the functions the design should have ...

OBS

Whereas "function" refers to the intended behavior of a system, i.e to what it will be able to do, "performance" brings an extra nuance: it refers to the capacity to achieve a desired result when in operation.
