Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2010-12-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
DEF

The surface ... along which thrust faulting occurs.

CONT

The Lewis thrust surface is a low-angle thrust fault with ramp-flat geometry, indicating that the thrust moved horizontally, stepping upwards through stratigraphic layers.

OBS

When the surface is planar, the more specific term "thrust plane" is used.

OBS

thrust surface: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tectonique
OBS

Les termes «plan de charriage» ou «plan de chevauchement» s'appliquent plus spécifiquement à des surfaces planes.

OBS

surface de charriage; surface de chevauchement : termes en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.

Spanish

Record 2 2010-12-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
CONT

... the thrust of the final, or apogee, motor... will... move the plane of the orbit to the plane of Earth's Equator. The axis of spin is then adjusted to be parallel to Earth's axis.

PHR

Spin-axis orientation system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Lancement et manœuvres dans l'espace
CONT

[...] le satellite Early Bird (ou Intelsat 1) tournait sur lui-même en maintenant son axe de rotation perpendiculaire au plan d'orbite donc parallèle à l'axe de la Terre.

PHR

Système d'orientation de l'axe de rotation.

Record 3 2009-03-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
DEF

The surface of a thrust fault, when the surface is planar.

OBS

thrust plane : term used at Natural Resources Canada-Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tectonique
CONT

Les «nappes de charriage» [...] sont des formations allochtones, épaisses de centaines et parfois de milliers de mètres, qui reposent sur un substratum autochtone par des zones de broyage et de laminage, prouvant le déplacement («plan de charriage»).

Spanish

Record 4 2001-12-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
DEF

The ratio of the mean total pressure at the last compressor discharge plane of the compressor to the mean total pressure at the compressor entry plane when the engine is developing take-off thrust rating in ISA sea level static conditions.

OBS

reference pressure ratio: term and definition officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Propulsion des aéronefs
DEF

Rapport entre la pression totale moyenne à la sortie du dernier étage du compresseur et la pression totale moyenne à l'entrée du compresseur lorsque la poussée du moteur est égale à la poussée nominale de décollage dans les conditions statiques en atmosphère type internationale au niveau de la mer.

OBS

rapport de pression de référence : terme et définition uniformisés par l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Sistemas de propulsión de aeronaves
DEF

Relación entre la presión total media en el último plano de descarga del compresor y la presión total media en el plano de entrada del compresor, cuando el motor desarrolla el empuje nominal de despegue en condiciones estáticas en la atmósfera tipo internacional (ISA), al nivel del mar.

OBS

relación de presión de referencia: término y definición aceptados oficialmente por la Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional (OACI).

Record 6 1993-11-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Practical Astronomy
  • The Earth (Astronomy)
CONT

... the thrust of the... apogee motor... will both place the satellite in a circular orbit and move the plane of the orbit to the plane of Earth's Equator. The axis of spin is then adjusted to be parallel to Earth's axis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Astronomie pratique
  • Terre (Astronomie)
CONT

[...] le satellite Early Bird [...] tournait sur lui-même en maintenant son axe de rotation perpendiculaire au plan d'orbite donc parallèle à l'axe de la Terre.

DEF

A unit with an individual prime mover creating a thrust at some angle to the centreline plane of the vessel, mainly at low speeds or at standstill of the vessel.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Propulsion des bateaux
DEF

Dispositif à entraînement autonome produisant, à petite vitesse ou à l'arrêt du navire, une poussée dans une direction différente de l'axe de celui-ci.
