Drawing : In this process, the material being drawn is at room temperature(i. e. cold-drawn). The pointed/reduced end of the bar or coil, which is smaller than the die opening, is passed through the die where it enters a gripping device of the drawing machine. The drawing machine pulls or draws the remaining unreduced section of the bar or coil through the die. The die reduces the cross section of the original bar or coil, shapes the profile of the product and increases the length of the original product. 3, record 1, English, - cold%2Ddrawn

The method used in the present study allows us to propose different alternatives of dike profiles. Alternatives have been selected with respect to the wave conditions and to economical considerations. The best profile is defined as a berm dike with a trapezoidal cross section.

L’intérêt fondamental des digues à berme est d’autoriser une réduction significative de la taille des blocs de carapace et, dans une certaine mesure, de permettre une conception de l’ouvrage adaptée aux matériaux disponibles à proximité du site de construction. [...] Ce type de digue s’est largement répandu depuis les années 80 avec plus de 60 réalisations répertoriées dans le monde, accompagnées de la publication de nombreux travaux théoriques, expérimentaux et retours d’expériences. Les références existantes montrent que les digues à berme sont adaptées à des conditions de site difficiles, comparables à celles du port de Roscoff en termes de profondeur d’eau et de caractéristiques de houle. 3, record 3, French, - digue%20%C3%A0%20berme

La démarche proposée par cette présente étude a permis d'établir plusieurs propositions de profils en fonction des paramètres hydrodynamiques et des critères économiques. Il en résulte que le profil idéal est une digue trapézoïdale munie d'une berme et composée d'un enrochement de blocs de basalte de poids compris entre 700 kg (revêtement) et 3.5 kg (corps). 2, record 3, French, - digue%20%C3%A0%20berme

dérochage; déroctage : D'après le Grand Robert, il y a une nuance entre ces deux termes; le premier se rapporte à l'action de dégager (un chenal, le lit d'une rivière, un terrain) des rochers qui encombrent, tandis que le second désigne l'action de briser de gros blocs de pierre. L'usage veut que ces deux termes soient souvent utilisés l'un pour l'autre, sans doute parce que le dérochage doit souvent se faire par déroctage. 2, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9roctage

There are many ways of rendering the concept of "profilé" in English. If the width of the profile changes from one spot on the racquet to another, then the term "beam" is preferred, e. g. tapered beam design for the all round game. If one wants to specify that the beam is narrow, regular or conventional(i. e. not a wide-body), the term "frame", as in "narrow frame" or "conventional-width frame" is preferred. When one speaks of a "conventional frame", one implies that the profile or beam is constant, straight and narrow. Related terms : shaft, frame cross section. 1, record 5, English, - frame%20profile
