DEF

... the points at the Earth's surface where the horizontal component of the magnetic field vanishes. The geographic latitude of the North and South magnetic, or dip, poles is about 72°.

OBS

Record 3 2010-04-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
CONT

The aircraft sustained damage to its right wing, right landing gear leg, and horizontal stabilizer.

CONT

A dihedral wing is producing equal lift on the port and the starboard wing in straight and level flight. If the starboard wing dips, it's vertical lift component will begin to increase and it's horizontal lift component will begin to decrease until the wing is parallel to the flow(trigonometry and the lift force components on your wing) and at the same time the vertical lift component on the port wing will decrease. This makes the starboard wing rise and the port wing dip until it reaches it's equilibrium position(hopefully, level and straight).

PHR

Incidence on the starboard wing, root of the starboard wing.

PHR

The right wing leading edge.

PHR

Aileron on the right wing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cellule d'aéronefs
CONT

En s'abaissant, l'aileron de droite devrait augmenter la portance sur l'aile droite mais, en pratique, il est possible qu'il la réduise en augmentant l'angle d'attaque au-delà de l'angle de portance maximal. Mais ce qui est tout à fait certain, c'est que la traînée de l'aile droite augmente énormément et tend à retenir l'aile pour faire tourner l'avion à droite.

PHR

Bout, extrémité, hauban, perte de sustentation, portance, réservoir, réservoir auxiliaire, traînée (sur, de) l'aile droite.

PHR

Record 4 2009-09-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
CONT

The early structural history of the basin, from the deposition and/or emplacement of the oldest rocks, is poorly understood. The earliest rocks are difficult to study because the Lower Phanerozoic and Precambrian rocks are not exposed at the surface in North Dakota and only a few wells have penetrated these rocks.

OBS

The most obvious thing to do when trying to decipher the structural history of a formation is to describe it. One way of doing this is to measure the dip and strike. The dip is the amount a bed of rock is tipped from the horizontal. The strike is the direction which is ninety degrees from the dip, i. e. along the horizontal line on the bed.

OBS

structural history: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

... the dip or underlie of the reefs... varies at all angles between nearly horizontal and vertical... its angle is often so nearly identical with that of the latter, as to impart to the reefs the appearance of interstratified deposits. If it were not for the frequency of lateral branches-"leaders"-joining the main bodies at all angles, both at their hanging-and foot-walls, they would in reality have to be considered as "layers" or interbedded deposits; but, as it is, they represent in these cases so-called "layer-or bedded lodes.

Rotating apparatus.... introduced... by Charles Garnier.... It consists of a fixed vertical drum, inside of which perforated metal drums containing the blossoms revolve on a horizontal axle. They continually dip into the boiling water at the bottom of the apparatus and the flowers are rapidly exhausted.

CONT

... Garnier invented a rotatory extraction apparatus .... Rotary extractor, Garnier type. The latest model consists of a heavily tinned iron drum rotating around a horizontal axle. Four perforated metal partitions, rectangularly and horizontally arranged around the central axle, divide the interior into four compartments into which the flowers are charged through four manholes. While the whole system rotates slowly, the flower material moves, tumbles and dips into the solvent lying on the bottom of the extractor. The liquid seeps through the perforations and drips back to the bottom when one compartment is lifted out of the solvent in the continuous movement of the whole drum.

The direction of the [induced magnetic] field [of buried conducting bodies] is most generally measured by the dip-angle method(...). The source loop is in the vertical plane, and the receiving loop is linked to an inclinometer which is used to measure the angle with the horizontal of the plane in which it lies when the voltage induced in it is a maximum.(...) Dip angle measurements when properly interpreted can yield information on horizontal location, strike, dip, length and conductivity of a buried conducting sheet.
