OBS

thrust sheet; thrust nappe; overthrust sheet; overthrust nappe; sheared nappe; thrust block; thrust plate : terms used at Natural Resources Canada-Earth Sciences Sector.

PHR

Imbricate thrust sheets.

Key term(s)
  • traveled mass

Record 2 2008-05-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plate Tectonics
DEF

A type of stress-strain relationship occurring at the collision boundary of the North American and Pacific Plates in the Big Bend segment of the San Andreas Fault.

OBS

In very simple terms, this collision boundary is the San Andreas Fault Zone. In fact, the collision boundary is a much broader zone estimated to be a hundred kilometers in width near the project area. As the Pacific and North American Plates collide with each other, blocks of crust in each plate are thrust over or rotated with respect to other blocks.

OBS

rotational compression: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tectonique des plaques
OBS

compression rotationnelle; compression de rotation : termes en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.

Record 3 2008-02-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pumps
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

In this pump, the pistons are at an angle to the drive shaft and thrust plate. The piston block shaft is connected to the drive shaft by a universal joint... The drive shaft, thrust plate, piston block shaft, and piston block all revolve. The connecting rods are attached to the thrust plate and revolve with it, unlike the swash plate pump where the piston rods slide past a stationary swash plate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pompes
  • Circuits des aéronefs
OBS

Pompe à pistons.

OBS

plaque de poussée : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 4 2003-05-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Building Elements
  • Floors and Ceilings
  • Rough Carpentry
OBS

Ceiling joists are used to support the ceiling finish and to act as ties between exterior walls and in some cases, opposing rafters.

OBS

Since ceiling joists also serve as tension members to resist the thrust of the rafters of pitched roofs, they must be securely nailed to the plate at outer and inner walls.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments du bâtiment
  • Planchers et plafonds
  • Charpenterie
OBS

Un de plusieurs membres supportant un plafond, lorsqu'il n'y a pas de plancher fini immédiatement au-dessus.

OBS

Les solives de plafond sont clouées à chacun des chevrons et sont les attaches des murs extérieurs aux cloisons intérieures.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Elementos de edificios
  • Pisos y cielos rasos
  • Carpintería

Record 5 1981-05-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
OBS

A double direction thrust ball bearing(...) with sphered housing washers and two seating rings locates each plate cylinder axially and also accommodates the axial force produced by lateral positioning.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Obturateurs et buses (Composants mécaniques)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
OBS

Une butée à billes à double effet (...) comportant des rondelles-logement sphériques et deux contre-plaques assure la fixation axiale précise des cylindres porte-cliché et reprend les efforts axiaux entraînés par le réglage latéral de ces cylindres.

Record 6 1981-05-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
  • Mechanical Components
OBS

The position of the rubber and counterpressure cylinders is not adjusted relative to the plate cylinder and therefore the thrust bearing arrangement in this case only has to accommodate the forces arising from the cut gear teeth. For this duty a matched pair of deep groove ball bearings(...) are utilised.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
  • Composants mécaniques
OBS

La position du cylindre blanchet et du cylindre de pression n'est pas déterminée en fonction de celle du cylindre porte-cliché. Leur fixation axiale s'effectue au moyen de deux roulements rigides à billes (...)
