SHOW RESISTANCE [8 records]

Record 1 2003-10-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
CONT

Environmental stress cracking is the premature initiation of cracking and embrittlement of a plastic due to the simultaneous action of stress and strain and contact with specific fluids.

CONT

... PPS does show a high level of resistance to environmental stress cracking.

Record 2 2001-02-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Synthetic Fabrics
  • Thread Spinning (Textiles)
DEF

A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long chain synthetic polysulfide in which at least 85% of the sulfide(-S-) linkages are attached directly to two aromatic rings... These are high-performance fibers with excellent resistance to strong chemicals and high temperature. They show excellent strength retention in harsh environments; are flame retardant; and non-conducting. They find use in high-temperature filter fabrics... and high-performance composites.

Record 3 1997-07-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Medication
DEF

Any of a number or closely related antiviral proteins synthesized by many types of cell in response to viral infections or to a variety of inducers(e. g. double-stranded DNA). Lymphoblastoid cells are a good source of a interferon, which has been purified from them. All a interferons show a characteristic resistance to acid pH.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
  • Médicaments
CONT

On distingue actuellement deux grands groupes d'interférons : le groupe I : interférons alpha et bêta, plutôt antiviraux [...] le groupe II : les interférons gamma (ou immuns) [...].

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Chemistry)
CONT

Bimetallic catalysts show increased activity, improved resistance to poisoning by coke accumulation or deposition, and optimize product selectivity, eg, dehydrocyclization and aromatic hydrogenation are possible with a minimum of cracking reactions(hydrogenolysis) while maintaining very high hydrogenation activity.

Record 5 1992-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Plant and Crop Production
OBS

VR is, in effect, synonymous with a major-gene pathotype-specific resistance in relation to which non-virulent pathotypes(and only they) show r [resistance] near or equal to zero. VR is the same as ’race-specific' or ’pathotype-specific' resistance or even just 'specific' resistance.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
  • Cultures (Agriculture)
OBS

La résistance verticale est synonyme de résistance conférée par un gène majeur envers un pathotype spécifique pour lequel des pathotypes non virulents (et seulement ceux-ci) montrent un taux de résistance (r) égal ou près de 0.

CONT

Rammer test.... A test for investigating the resistance of a geotextile to puncturing by falling stones has been developed by the Bundesanstalt fur Wasserbau... in Germany. This test is carried out with a special 30 kg rammer.... The rammer test is carried out with a fall height of 2. 0 m or 1. 0 m depending on the stone to be used in the construction. The geotextile is placed on a layer of compacted sand and kept in place by means of a 170 kg concrete ring. Three tests are carried out in the machine, cross and diagonal direction of the geotextile. A geotextile is considered to be puncture resistant in this test if all the tests carried out show no puncturing. Each test is carried out on a new specimen.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Mécanique des sols
OBS

Percement. Cette caractéristique résulte de la concentration d'une sollicitation mécanique qui peut être engendrée soit à vitesse lente, soit à vitesse rapide (effet dynamique). Le percement d'une nappe est complexe à analyser, car il dépend d'un grand nombre de paramètres que l'on maîtrise difficilement (vitesse d'impact, forme du poinçon ou du projectile). On recense trois types de processus de percements différents qui aboutissent à une altération du géotextile: perforation (coupure), poinçonnement (effet de compression), éclatement (mise en pression localisée). Expression du résultat: selon la méthode d'essai, le percement s'exprime sous forme d'une dimension géométrique, d'une force ou d'une pression.

Record 8 1986-06-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
DEF

A bridge arrangement of four strain gages, cemented to a stressed part in such a way that two gages show increases in resistance and two show decreases when the part is stressed; the change in output voltage under stress is thus much higher than that for a single gage.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
OBS

L'extensométrie offre des méthodes simples et non destructives, permettant de mesurer les déformations superficielles des matériaux sous l'action des contraintes statiques et dynamiques qui y prennent naissance. Les mesures sont généralement effectuées par l'intermédiaire de jauges de contraintes à fil résistant collées sur la surface ou de capteurs utilisant ces jauges. La grandeur à mesurer est transformée en variation de résistance électrique. On associe généralement plusieurs jauges de contraintes pour constituer un pont de mesure dont le déséquilibre, convenablement amplifié et étalonné, traduit les déformations à mesurer.
