YES FORCES [4 records]

Record 1 2002-07-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
  • General Mechanics (Physics)
  • Bodywork and Framework (Motor Vehicles)
DEF

A strength measurement that combines the Yield strength of the material and the load carrying capacity based on the material size and shape.

CONT

Resisting bending moment (RBM) [is] a calculation used to compare frames of different section modulus and of different material. It is the product of the section modulus times the yield strength of the frame material. The formula is expressed as: RBM = Section Modulus x Yield Strength.

CONT

The mainframe of a heavy or medium-duty truck or tractor consists of a pair of C-section rails running the vehicle's length... joined by C-, T-, L-or hat-section crossmembers.... "Resisting bending moment, "or RBM [is] measured in inch-pounds. RBM describes the frame's ability to withstand twisting forces as well as its carrying ability... A road tractor's frame might be built with an RBM of 1. 3 million to 1. 6 million inch-pounds, while a quad-rear-axle dump truck's frame might have an RBM of 3 million inch-pounds. Yes, those are torque values, because torque is what's applied to the frame as the vehicle rocks and rolls its way over a jobsite or roadway, and its load pulls and pushes on the frame.

CONT

Avec trois options selon la force des bâtis, les modèles de la classe 4-5 de GM permettent d'optimiser la capacité en poids et en charge supportée en vue d'usages spécifiques et ce, sans exiger de renfort. Les options incluent : . longerons de 6 mm d'épaisseur en acier d'une résistance de 50 000 lb/po² dans le cas des châssis d'autobus, procurant un moment de résistance à la flexion (MRF) de 356 000 lbf-po.

OBS

flexion : Mécan. Courbure d'une pièce longue (poutre, barre...) sous l'action de forces perpendiculaires à l'axe longitudinal et appliquées en des points où la pièce n'est pas soutenue. Flexion plane. Module de flexion. Résistance à la flexion.

Record 2 1996-07-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • National Policies
CONT

The survey of 1, 002 voters, carried out... by Groupe Léger & Léger for Le Journal de Montréal and The Globe and Mail, put support for the Yes side at 49. 2 per cent and the No at 50. 8 per cent. Given the poll' s margin of error(plus or minus 3. 1 percentage points), it suggested that the federalist and separatist forces were essentially tied.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Politiques nationales
CONT

Malgré la remontée spectaculaire du OUI dans les intentions de vote, Ottawa ne croit pas qu'il soit nécessaire de modifier la stratégie du camp fédéraliste alors que s'amorce le dernier droit menant au référendum du 30 octobre.

Record 3 1996-07-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • National Policies
CONT

Prime Minister Jean Chrétien... told them all Canada-not just Quebec-would lose should the Yes forces win the Oct. 30 referendum.

CONT

Will more Quebecers vote for sovereignty because they like the new de facto leader (Lucien Bouchard) of the Yes side?

CONT

Even as Chrétien downplayed Bouchard’s impact, however, federal strategists admitted privately that the Bloc leader’s more prominent role will likely give the Yes camp a one or two percentage point increase in support.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Politiques nationales
CONT

Après s'être rendu à l'idée d'un débat sans Jean Chrétien, le camp du OUI s'est opposé à ce qu'autant de temps soit accordé à la question référendaire qu'aux conséquences d'un NON.

CONT

Le président de la CSN a soutenu hier que tous les éléments progressistes de la société s'étaient rangés du côté du OUI: syndicats, groupes de femmes, mouvements communautaires, coopératifs et nationalistes.
