MEMBRANE STRESS [4 records]

Record 1 1999-04-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
  • Soil Science
  • Soil Tests (Construction)
DEF

Laboratory equipment for testing a generally cylindrical soil specimen, which permits independent control of the three principal stresses and allows for examination of generalised states of stress. The specimen is sealed in a rubber membrane and enclosed in a cell subjected to water pressure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des sols
  • Science du sol
  • Essais du sol (Construction)
CONT

Essai de cisaillement à l'appareil triaxial [...] L'éprouvette de sol, en forme de tronc de cylindre [...] est placée sur une embase métallique munie d'une pierre poreuse, à l'intérieur d'une enceinte étanche en plexiglas. Sur sa surface latérale, l'éprouvette est entourée d'une enveloppe imperméable.

Record 2 1997-08-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prostheses
  • The Ear
CONT

A retracted tympanic membrane resulting from an effusion will also transmit force to the stapes prosthesis and put stress on the neomembrane, increasing the likelihood of a tear.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prothèses
  • Oreille
CONT

Une conséquence importante des lésions atteignant l'étrier est de mettre en valeur la présence d'un osselet directement ou indirectement solidaire du tympan, le manche du marteau, ou mieux la branche descendante de l'enclume, pour caler une columelle reposant sur la platine ou suspendre une prothèse de stapédectomie.

Record 3 1997-07-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Technical Textiles
  • Architecture
CONT

The textile membranes typically used in architecture are coated fabric... The design of a building having textile membrane components is somewhat special : it cannot be done by an architect alone. Because the shaping of the overall form means creating a double curved surface which is under tension in all loadcases. A surface with constant thickness, necessarily loaded with homogenious stress fields....

French

Domaine(s)
  • Textiles techniques
  • Architecture
CONT

En architecture les membranes textiles [...] sont des tissus enduits. [...] La conception d'un bâtiment incluant des membranes textiles est assez spéciale [...] La mise au point de la forme générale implique la création d'une double courbure inversée, en tout point sous tension. Une surface d'épaisseur constante impérativement chargée par des champs de forces homogènes [...].
