FULL-SCALE TESTING [5 records]

Record 1 2019-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
  • Long-Distance Pipelines
CONT

Reel-laying is a fast and cost-effective method to install offshore pipelines. During reel-laying, repeated plastic strain is introduced into the pipeline which may, in combination with ageing, affect strength and ductility of the pipe material. The effect of reel-laying on the pipe material is simulated by small-or full-scale reeling simulations followed by mechanical testing according to corresponding standards.

Record 2 2008-05-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
DEF

An internal or external framework along the underside of the hull of a rigid airship, forming an integral part of the structure as a means of distributing the effect of concentrated loads along the hull.

CONT

A lightweight energy-absorbing keel-beam concept was developed and retrofitted in a general aviation type aircraft to improve crashworthiness performance. The energy-absorbing beam consisted of a foam-filled cellular structure with glass fiber and hybrid glass/kevlar cell walls. Design, analysis, fabrication and testing of the keel beams prior to installation and subsequent full-scale crash testing of the aircraft are described. Factors such as material and fabrication constraints, damage tolerance, crush stress/strain response, seat-rail loading, and post crush integrity, which influenced the course of the design process are also presented.

CONT

[The section "Main Frame" of an aircraft] includes frames, bulkheads, formers, longerons, stringers, keel, frames around openings, tec.

Subject field(s)
  • General Scientific and Technical Vocabulary
  • Waterproofing (Construction)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
DEF

Water artificially applied in the form of rain, usually by a rainfall simulator for experimental purposes.

CONT

In BRI's laboratory for building foundation and soils, full-scale testing for soil dynamics is performed. A large-scale, shear soil layer box(5 m x 4 m x 10 m) is equipped in five large pits 6 m below ground to reproduce vibration of the ground during an earthquake. A test for rainfall is conducted in this laboratory using an artificial rainfall apparatus with an intensity up to 150 mm/h that addresses soil pressure during rainfall. In the wind and rain test laboratory, experiments are conducted on the effects of wind on buildings, the waterproof performance of finishes, and the air-flow characteristics in and around buildings.

CONT

They exposed different Sphagnum species to artificial rain (pH 4.2) containing different concentrations of bisulphite or sulphate, within the limits of very high values encountered in some samples of rain.

OBS

rainfall simulator: A device to simulate rainfall, primarily for use in determining infiltration on small areas. Some instruments permit application of droplets of controlled size, simulating natural rainfall; others use sprays. Sometimes called rain maker.

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Strength of Materials
  • Protective Clothing
DEF

Thermo-man : This instrumented mannequin system, interfaced with a computer, allows full-scale testing of garments for protection capability or degree of flammability. The system was developed by Accurex Corporation for U. S. Air Force.

CONT

Barriers Proline are designed starting from fibres thermostable aramides of high technicality. Their effectiveness was shown by tests carried out on mannequin RALPH of (British Textile technology Group) and on the Thermo-Man of Dupont de Nemours. These tests consist in evaluating the level of effectiveness of clothing when it is subjected to a flame from approximately 1 000 degrees C during 8 seconds.

CONT

Thermo-man : Mannequin comportant des appareils de mesure (capteurs de chaleur qui mesurent les brûlures) relié à un ordinateur permettant d'effectuer des essais en grandeur réelle sur les vêtements pour évaluer leur niveau de protection thermique ou leur degré d'inflammabilité. En laboratoire, pour faire des essais sur les vêtements, le mannequin thermo-man (qui est en grandeur réelle) est habillé (d'une veste de sapeur-pompier par exemple), ensuite le feu est mis au vêtement porté par le mannequin. Les données prises par les capteurs de chaleur sur Thermo-man en feu sont alors analysées pour déterminer la capacité de protection thermique ou le degré d'inflammabilité du vêtement.

CONT

Les barrières Proline sont conçues à partir de fibres aramides thermostables de haute technicité. leur efficacité a été démontrée par des tests réalisés sur le mannequin RALPH du (British Textile Technology Group) et sur le Thermo-Man de Dupont de Nemours.
