On différencie […] les centrifugeuses subcritiques des centrifugeuses supercritiques […] Bols subcritiques. Dans cette catégorie, on définit les bols courts caractérisés par un rapport hauteur/diamètre inférieur à 1 et par une seule vitesse critique. Il n’y a en effet pas de vitesse critique conique à passer si le moment d’inertie polaire du rotor est plus grand que son moment d’inertie transverse […] Ces machines ont été utilisées pour les premiers essais de séparation des isotopes de l’uranium mais ne présentent plus d’intérêt pratique pour cette application du fait de leur faible production. 1, record 1, French, - centrifugeuse%20subcritique

[Séparation des isotopes de l’uranium.] On différencie […] les centrifugeuses subcritiques des centrifugeuses supercritiques […] Bols supercritiques. Au-delà d’une certaine longueur apparaît le problème particulièrement difficile du passage d’une ou plusieurs vitesses critiques de flexion du rotor. En effet, dans ce cas, les fréquences critiques dépendent du module longitudinal et de la forme du rotor et, par conséquent, ne peuvent pas être abaissées en jouant sur la raideur des paliers. Leur amortissement s’en trouve d’autant plus difficile qu’elles sont élevées. 1, record 2, French, - centrifugeuse%20supercritique

To the extent that artifacts vary from a surface they will be pulled towards the isotropic pole. Thus, the last simulated data set was created by giving 200 artifacts random bearings(0-360°) and random plunges(0-90°). From the Schmidt diagram... it is clear that there is no patterning in these data. Points are as likely to plot near the edges as near the center of the diagram and the Rose diagram shows an approximately uniform distribution of bearings. 2, record 4, English, - random%20plunge

Les deux pivots de ce premier anneau reposent sur un deuxième anneau plus grand, monté lui-même sur pivots lui permettant une rotation verticale. [...] Il résulte donc de ce mode de suspension que l'axe de la masse est entièrement libre [et] en équilibre dans toutes les positions. [...] Si on fixe horizontalement l'anneau intérieur, l'axe de rotation ne pourra plus se déplacer que dans un plan horizontal. 1, record 7, French, - pivot
