ZERO TENSION [9 records]

Record 1 2011-05-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Properties of Paper
DEF

The resistant property of a sheet to pull or stress produced by tension. It is measured with special jaws, at an apparent initial span of zero. It indicates the strength of the material comprising the fibers.

CONT

The Z-Span 2000 is an automated and computer controlled bench top zero and short span tensile tester. This tester measures 24 peak load zero and/or short span tensile strengths after placing two 4" X 2 1/2"/10 cm 6 cm strips from machine made paper and/or handsheets into feed tray.

L'essai de traction définit un ensemble de caractéristiques dont les principales sont : la résistance à la traction R : charge unitaire maximum atteinte au cours de l'essai, exprimée en kilogramme par millimètre carré de la section initiale de l'éprouvette, l'allongement après rupture, la limite d'élasticité dite de proportionnalité, la limite conventionnelle d'élasticité.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

Numerical analyses of fluid dynamics were carried out in a vane type surface tension tank, which incorporates propellant management device for microgravity conditions.

OBS

If the gravity acceleration tends to zero the liquid height becomes infinite. In surface tension tanks this effect is used to pump propellant via capillary vanes without any additional energy supply.

Record 5 1998-04-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Paper Manufacturing Processes
DEF

The work done when a specimen is stressed to rupture in tension, expressed as energy per unit cross-sectional area of test specimen. It is measured by stressing the specimen to rupture in tension under prescribed conditions and determining the integral of the tensile stress over the range of tensile strain from zero to maximum strain. Considered by some to correlate well with web runnability.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
  • Fabrication du papier
CONT

Énergie de rupture. Les papiers destinés à subir des efforts brutaux, des chocs doivent avoir une bonne capacité d'allongement avant rupture. C'est le cas, par exemple, des krafts pour sacs grande contenance; pour tester leur résistance on les remplit, on les ferme et on les laisse tomber d'une hauteur de plus en plus grande : on note celle pour laquelle le sac éclate. Le papier utilisé à la confection de ces sacs est contrôlé sur un dynamomètre qui enregistre la courbe de la force de traction par rapport à l'allongement de l'éprouvette.

OBS

Le terme «énergie de rupture» et le contexte ci-haut peuvent être retrouvés sous l'article 9.6.2. du Cours de formation papetière (code : CTD-1).

Record 6 1998-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Mechanics (Physics)
  • Strength of Materials
CONT

The energy for complete fracture in double edge-notched tension test specimens has been measured for a wide range of polymer films. Results indicated that the variation of the total specific work of fracture, wT, with ligament length, L, can be described by two straight lines, both of the form wT=we+β wpl, thus giving upper and lower intercept values at zero ligament length(i. e. we) for each film. The first term, we, is the energy absorbed per unit area of fracture, whereas the second term, wp, is the energy absorbed per unit volume of plastic deformation remote from the fracture surface. The lower we value was obtained from the extrapolation of the data within the mixed mode region(plane-stress/plane-strain) where the maximum net-section stress exceeded 1. 15 times that of the tensile yield stress, σy, of the material, and the upper value was ascertained by extrapolating the data within the plane stress region where the net-section stress was 1. 15 σy. It appears that the transition from plane stress to plane strain mode of fracture in thin films occurs at a ligament length much greater than 5B, where B is the specimen thickness.

Record 9 1995-10-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
  • Mathematics
DEF

On a surface, the place having a local curvature less than zero.

CONT

In the simplest non-linear Langevin equation, the first term describes the relaxation of the interface due to the surface tension. Its meaning is quite obvious : protrusions(places with local curvature less than zero) tend to disappear under the influence of the smoothing effect of surface tension.

CONT

In solidification terms, if the surface has a part with positive curvature (bump), the molecules in this region can leave the surface easier because the molecules on the surface have fewer neighbours with attractive interactions bonding them to the growing phase. For places with negative curvature the situation is reversed.

CONT

bump function.
