WORK PLATE [25 records]

Record 1 2023-05-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Couplings (Mechanical Components)
  • Transmission Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

In the electromagnetic clutch, electromagnetism is used to exert a pressure force on one pressure plate to make the clutch engage. In this type, the driving plate is attached to the electric coils. When the electricity is provided into these coils then the plate work as the magnet and it attracts another plate. So both plates join when the electricity provides and the clutch is in an engaged position. When the driver cuts the electricity, this attraction force disappears, and the clutch is in the disengaged position.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Accouplements (Composants mécaniques)
  • Transmission (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
CONT

Embrayage en position embrayage. Avec une vitesse enclenchée (la première), je remonte l'embrayage (j'embraye). Quand je remonte l'embrayage, je garde le talon au sol et j'accompagne en douceur la pédale. Les deux disques de l'embrayage rentrent en contact et le mouvement du moteur est retransmis aux roues.

Record 5 2007-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
CONT

The aim of this thesis work is to develop an effective cut-out reinforcement for composite sandwich fuselage shells. Because flat plate theory shows that only tangential stresses act in the vicinity of the cut-out, the proposed reinforcement concept involves fibres oriented in parallel to the edge of the cut-out. As no production process was suitable for producing the desired reinforcement, a process based on the working of simple yo-yo is designed and implemented. A preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the reinforcement concept is made by subjecting two test plates(one reference plate and one reinforced plate) to a uniaxial tension test.

Record 6 2006-08-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
DEF

A solid-state metal joining process producing high-strength, defect-free joints in metallic materials. The process employs a pin tool with a low rotational speed and applied pressure that "mechanically stirs" two parent materials together to produce a uniform weld.

CONT

Friction stir welding uses a cylindrical, shouldered tool with a profiled pin that is rotated and slowly plunged into the joint line between two pieces of sheet or plate material, which are butted together. Frictional heat is generated between the wear resistant welding tool and the work piece. This heat causes the work piece material to soften without reaching the melting point and allows the tool to traverse the weld line. As it does, the plasticized material is transferred from the leading edge of the tool to the trailing edge of the tool shoulder and pin. It leaves a solid phase bond between the two work pieces.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
CONT

Le soudage par friction-malaxage (SFM) utilise le même principe [que le soudage par friction] pour joindre des plaques bout à bout ou avec chevauchement. L'outil utilisé est de forme cylindrique (profiled pin)avec un épaulement (tool shoulder). Le tout est mis en rotation à une vitesse de quelques centaines de tours par minute. Alors que l'outil approche les plaques, la rotation génère assez de chaleur pour ramollir le métal, sans jamais le rendre liquide, afin de permettre à l'outil de pénétrer dans les plaques. Une fois l'épaulement bien appuyé, assez de chaleur est générée pour permettre à l'outil de suivre une trajectoire de translation en suivant le joint entre les deux plaques et ainsi les souder. Les plaques doivent être solidement fixées car une grande force est requise pour faire entrer l'outil dans le métal.

La majorité des sources consultées utilisent le sigle anglais FSW.

Subject field(s)
  • Platemaking (Printing)
  • Flexography (Printing)
CONT

The use of foam mounting tapes to improve flexographic print quality is a well-established practice. The tapes reduce dot gain process and screen work, and allow faster line speeds by providing a compressible layer that controls plate-substrate contact and eliminates plate bounce.
