Record 3 2010-09-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
DEF

The capacity to part along closely spaced, parallel surfaces of fracture or near-fracture, commonly in a single set, but occasionally in intersecting sets.

CONT

It is important to mention the presence of a deformation band, with fracture schistosity, in the area affected by low-grade metamorphism.

OBS

fracture cleavage: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tectonique
DEF

Schistosité caractérisée par un débit relativement espacé et irrégulier, portant souvent l'empreinte de dissolution.

CONT

[...] la schistosité de fracture [...] n'est parfois qu'une simple tendance au débitage en feuillets parallèles.

OBS

clivage de fracture; schistosité de fracturation : termes en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.

Record 4 1994-09-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Concrete
CONT

Fracture surfaces of DSP concretes are transgranular proving a densification of the cement paste compared to normal with intergranular rupture.

CONT

Transgranular fracture in DSP concrete, C = homogeneous matrix, no crack and no oriented crystals along aggregate (G).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sortes de béton
CONT

Les surfaces de rupture des bétons DSP sont transgranulaires par comparaison à la rupture intergranulaire d'un béton normal.

Record 7 1992-09-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

An angle defined by a line drawn tangential to the tibial crest, a second line tangential to the proximal tibial articular surfaces and a third line perpendicular to the tibial crest line. The interval found between the second and third lines defines the angle. The normal angle range from 7 to 22 ° with a mean of 14 ° and a standard deviation of [+ or-] 3. 6 °. This angle is useful in determining the degree of depression of the tibial plateau due to fracture. [From LUSRO, 1978, p. 190. ]

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
DEF

Angle calculé à partir de la tangente à la crête tibiale, de la tangente au plateau tibial et d'une troisième ligne tracée à partir du point de rencontre de ces deux tangentes, et perpendiculaire à la première. L'angle que forme ces deux dernières lignes constitue l'angle du plateau tibial. Il se situe normalement entre 7 et 22 °, pour une moyenne de 14 [0+ ou -] 3,6 °. Cet angle permet d'évaluer l'enfoncement dans une fracture du plateau tibial.

Record 8 1988-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prosthetic Dentistry
CONT

In a previous study... I was able to demonstrate resin tags up to 50 um in length projecting into enamel surfaces etched with 50 % H3PO4 for 1 minute. It is quite conceivable that these filamentous tags will fracture and remain embedded in the enamel during the breaking of experimental bonds.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dentisterie prothétique
CONT

L'étude [...] montre que les répliques en composite représentent négativement les structures prismatiques, la phase résineuse du composite agit comme une pâte à empreinte très fidèle, des digitations de résine pénétrant très profondément les structures prismatiques, leur longueur pouvant atteindre de 10 à 20 microns.

Record 9 1986-12-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallography
CONT

Fracture surfaces of metals can now be examined at magnifications up to 50, 000 x by the electron microscope. This technique, termed "electron microfractography", may become an important tool in failure analysis...

OBS

While the term "microfractography" has generally been used in this sense, it has also been used to designate cases where a light microscope is used as opposed to no microscope at all (i.e., "macrofractography").

French

Domaine(s)
  • Métallographie
CONT

[...] La microfractographie électronique [...] permet, par une étude fine des surfaces de cassure, d'analyser les processus de rupture les plus divers et souvent d'en séparer les principaux facteurs. (Source : de Leiris, 1974, p. 1).

OBS
