Record 1 2016-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
  • Radiation Protection
DEF

A can which resists the pressure of the coolant without being supported by the fuel.

CONT

The fuel cladding can be designed to be collapsible or free standing when subjected to the coolant operating pressure. Free standing cladding can undergo long term deformation(creep deformation) under external pressure, leading to a decrease in the radial gap between the cladding and fuel.

OBS

free-standing cladding: term and definition standardized by ISO in 1997.

OBS

free-standing cladding: term extracted from the “Glossaire de l’énergie nucléaire” and reproduced with permission of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
  • Radioprotection
DEF

Gaine résistant à la pression du liquide de refroidissement sans prendre appui sur le combustible.

OBS

gaine libre : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO en 1997.

OBS

gaine libre; gaine autoporteuse : termes extraits du «Glossaire de l’énergie nucléaire» et reproduits avec l’autorisation de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques.

Record 2 2014-03-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Strength of Materials
  • Physics of Solids
  • Plastic Materials
DEF

The ratio of the maximum deformation, measured from the mean deformation, to the free length of the unstrained test specimen.

OBS

The strain amplitude is measured from zero to peak on one side only.

OBS

strain amplitude: term and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Physique des solides
  • Matières plastiques
DEF

Rapport de la déformation maximale, mesurée à partir de la déformation moyenne, à la longueur libre de l'éprouvette non déformée.

OBS

L'amplitude de déformation est mesurée de zéro au maximum sur un seul côté.

OBS

amplitude de déformation : terme et définition normalisés par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Medición y análisis (Ciencias)
  • Resistencia de los materiales
  • Física de los sólidos
  • Materiales plásticos
DEF

Relación entre la máxima deformación medida a partir de la deformación promedio y la longitud libre del espécimen de ensayo no deformado.

Record 3 1998-11-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
CONT

For a semiconductor slice or wafer, a measure of concave or convex deformation of the median surface of a slice or wafer, independent of any thickness variation which may be present. Bow is a bulk property of the test specimen, not a property of an exposed surface. Generally, bow is determined with the test specimen in a free, unclamped condition. Units of bow are generally [micrometres] or inches.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
