IMPACT PLATE [13 records]

Record 1 2012-09-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Strength of Materials
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
CONT

The wear properties of a wear liner when abraded with a bulk material sample can be determined by performing time tests in a horizontal circular wear tester. This wear tester simulates open three body wear with no impact as experienced in hoppers and chutes. The weight loss of each wear liner plate samples is monitored and can be translated into an estimated life expectancy.

OBS

estimated life expectancy; ELE: term and abbreviation officially approved by the Air Force Terminology Panel (Trenton).

Domaine(s)

DEF

Temps s'écoulant entre la mise en œuvre d'une structure et la fin de la période pendant laquelle elle est censée satisfaire les besoins pour lesquels on l'a conçue.

CONT

Présentation des principaux problèmes dus aux effets cycliques et transitoires dans les structures [...] pour les besoins industriels actuels, il est nécessaire dans certains domaines de pointe [...] d'avoir des performances élevées, pour de faibles poids, donc d'économie de matériaux coûteux, ce qui nécessite de les faire travailler dans des domaines de sollicitations où peuvent apparaître de la plasticité ou de la viscoplasticité. On a alors affaire à d'autres phénomènes liés aux sollicitations cycliques et qui débouchent sur deux questions que doit se poser l'ingénieur: 1- la structure risque-t-elle de subir des déformations excessives? 2- la structure peut-elle tenir pour la durée de vie prévue?

OBS

durée de vie prévue : terme uniformisé par le Groupe d'experts en terminologie de la Force aérienne (Trenton).

Subject field(s)
  • Masonry Practice
DEF

A construction work composed of elements containing air voids.

CONT

Impact sound insulation [can be] determined by laboratory testing. A standard "tapping machine" is set to operate on a horizontal steel plate which rests against the test specimen. The sound transmission through the wall is then measured and the impact sound levels are converted to normalised levels using a reference equivalent absorption area of 1. 0 m². Adequate impact sound insulation is achieved if the performance of the test specimen is equivalent to, or better than, the performance of a cavity brick construction under the same test conditions.

CONT

High hardness armour is a low alloy quenched and tempered steel with very high hardenability. The plate is manufactured to very high levels of through hardness, typically greater than 500 Brinell. High hardness armour defeats incident projectiles by shattering or deforming the projectile to the extent that the force on the armour from the projectile impact is sufficiently distributed to be no greater than the strength of the high hardness armour plate.

CONT

The Adless digital engraving technology is an endless photopolymer sleeve for digital engraving. This is the first time that a high quality material has been able to be continually coated onto a sleeve/cylinder in a short time. The sleeve coating system is flexible, enabling the user to process sleeves in many different circumference, widths and thicknesses. The CTSS [computer to seamless sleeve] plate making process is the latest Asahi technology to impact on the sleeve market. This process uses conventional photopolymer plates and, via a manufacturing process, creates a seamless photopolymer sleeve. This sleeve is then coated with a black mask layer to produce a digital photopolymer sleeve that can be imaged on a conventional flexo CTP [computer-to-plate] device.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

Thermionic or Electron Impact Detector. In 1957, Ryce and Bryce described a sensitive ionization gauge based on the ionization potentials of vapors. It comprised a filament, a grid, and a plate. The potential difference between the filament and grid accelerated electrons which may ionize any gas in their path. If the grid potential is maintained at a level insufficient to ionize the helium carrier gas... no current flows in the plate circuit. If a potential difference of 18 V is maintained between the filament and the grid, compounds of lower ionization potential in the helium will be ionized and the positive ions produced will yield a cathode current, the current noted being a measure of the ion concentration. Into the modified ionizing chamber, operated at reduced pressure, a small fraction of the column effluent gas stream(less than 0. 5%) was allowed to flow into the gauge through a controlled leak. Over a 0. 02-l. 5 mm Hg pressure range, the sensitivity was approximately proportional to the pressure, and sensitivities in the range of 10[ minus superscript 12] mole were claimed.
