CONT

Sensitivity testing typically involves an incremental change in a risk factor(or a limited number of risk factors). It is typically conducted over a shorter time horizon, for example an instantaneous shock. Sensitivity testing requires fewer resources than scenario testing and can be used as a simpler technique for assessing the impact of a change in risks when a quick response or when more frequent results are needed.

CONT

L’analyse de sensibilité comprend habituellement l’évolution par étape d’un facteur de risque (ou d’un nombre limité de facteurs de risque). Elle s’étale normalement sur une plus courte période, par exemple un choc soudain. L’analyse de sensibilité exige moins de ressources que l’analyse d’un scénario et elle peut servir de technique plus simple pour évaluer l’évolution d’un risque lorsqu’une réaction rapide ou que des résultats plus fréquents sont nécessaires.

Control of the ball by taking it in the fleshy area of the thigh, avoiding the knee.

The actual technique for trapping the falling ball on your thigh [is to] lift your leading leg up to make contact just before or when your thigh is parallel to the ground withdrawing your thigh on impact to take the pace off the ball.

An aircraft operating technique that minimizes noise impact, fuel-use and emissions, in which an arriving aircraft descends from an optimal position with idle thrust and avoids level flight to the extent permitted by the safe operation of the aircraft and compliance with published procedures and/or ATC [air traffic control] instructions.

Le concept d'approche en descente continue [...] consiste à pratiquer une arrivée en descente constante, l’avion évoluant sans effectuer de palier depuis un niveau de vol élevé, supérieur à 3 000 mètres en général, jusqu’à la piste. L’exploitation en descente continue des procédures d’approche aux instruments permet ainsi d’obtenir des gains significatifs en matière de réduction des nuisances sonores, de la consommation de carburant et des émissions de produits polluants.

The present work aims at trying out Acoustic Impact Technique as a possible means of deployment at field level for the purpose of flaw detection in composite helicopter blades. The principle underlying Acoustic Impact Testing is simple. The sound produced when a structure is tapped is mainly at the frequencies of major structural modes of vibration, which are structural properties. Any difference in the sound is necessarily due to modification affected to the force input by the defect in the structure. A study of the force time history of response or its fast fourier transform makes it possible to locate and detect sub surface flaws.

In addition to environmental conditions during the operations on the surface of Mars the MIDD will have to be able to sustain the loads which occur prior to deployment from the lander. Since recent and currently studied designs for Mars landers in many cases use a "semi-hard" landing technique, the shock incurred during impact on the surface becomes the driver for sizing and qualification of components rather than the launch loads or the quasistatic loads during entry into the martian atmosphere. The MARS PATHFINDER lander, being the most prominent example of a semi-hard lander since it is the only one thus far having been built and flown, experienced an actual impact velocity of 18 m/s and a maximum deceleration(first bounce) of around 18 g, both values being lower than the hardware had been designed for.

Bench Method. Whichever hauling equipment or technique you choose, you must get as close as possible to the trunks to be loaded or bring them as close as possible to the trail to facilitate loading. The bench method can enable you, with reasonable effort, to bring the felled trees manually to within a 10-metre radius of the track. This method consists in creating a workbench from the felled trees themselves. It enables you to work with your back straight and to move the trunks without unreasonable effort. The first tree is felled and prepared so as to act as a support for other trees that will be felled on top of it. It must be quite steady, since the impact and weight of felled trees can crush the support and make it less useful.

La méthode de l'établi. Peu importe l'équipement ou la technique de débardage que vous choisissez, vous devez vous rendre le plus près possible des troncs à charger ou les approcher le plus près du sentier pour en faciliter le chargement. La méthode de l'établi peut vous permettre, avec un effort raisonnable, de rapprocher manuellement les troncs abattus dans un rayon de 10 mètres du chemin. Cette méthode consiste à créer un établi de travail à même les arbres abattus. Elle vous permet de travailler le dos droit et de déplacer des troncs sans efforts déraisonnables. Le premier arbre est abattu et préparé de façon à servir de support pour d'autres arbres qui viendront s'abattre dessus. Il doit être assez solide, car l'impact et le poids des arbres abattus peuvent écraser le support et en diminuer l'utilité.

  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
CONT

Surfacing is a term used to describe processes of depositing metal on surfaces of tools and machine parts in order to increase their dimensional sizes or to obtain some specific mechanical property.... The two main categories of surfacing are known as hardfacing and metallizing. Hardfacing is a fusion technique and includes processes which are designed to produce hard, tough overlays to resist severe abrasion, corrosion, and impact loads. Metallizing is a spray coating procedure where finely divided particles of metal are deposited on surfaces where metal has worn away or where it is necessary to build up certain contours. Hardfacing is actually a fusion weld process in which a special hardfacing rod, wire, or electrode is intermixed with the base metal.

CONT

Technologie du rechargement. (...) L'opération consiste essentiellement à rapporter, par fusion, sur les parties usées ou susceptibles de s'user, un métal de même nature ou, le plus souvent, de nature différente de celle du métal de base.

Subject field(s)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
CONT

Most of the assessments reviewed emphasized the mitigation measures to be adopted to reduce or eliminate undesirable impacts. Major sections of the reports were devoted to the mitigation of impacts or such discussion permeated the chapters dealing with impact prediction. In the majority of the assessments, it was clear that few of the studies undertaken had contributed to the identification of suitable mitigating measures. Most of the measures described included well known mitigation techniques, as well as elements of sound environmental planning and construction practices.

CONT

The aquatic investigations were instrumental, when combined with details of project design, in pointing out alternative viable mitigation techniques (especially water release for stream habitat maintenance and provision of fish passage around obstacles) for protection of the fish resources of the area.

Domaine(s)

CONT

La plupart des évaluations examinées mettent l'accent sur les mesures d'atténuation à adopter pour réduire ou supprimer les incidences indésirables. Tantôt d'importantes parties des rapports sont consacrées à l'atténuation des incidences, tantôt cette question est largement traitée dans les chapitres concernant la prévision des incidences. Dans la majorité des évaluations, il est clair qu'un fort petit nombre d'études entreprises ont aidé à déterminer des mesures d'atténuation appropriées. Les mesures décrites se résument à des techniques palliatives très connues ainsi qu'à des éléments de bonnes pratiques en matière de planification environnementale et de construction.
