Record 1 2023-02-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

GOES-9, a three axis stabilized spacecraft, remains stationary in space which allows the [imager and sounder] instruments to be continuously pointed at the earth. The scanning system moves back and forth (i.e., east to west and then west to east) as it moves north to south. While the spacecraft is stationary, it is not absolutely still. Earth location and registration accuracy are [affected] by orbital motions, instrument motion, and thermal distortion. A complicated set of navigation (earth location) and registration (image-to-image location of a landmark) correction schemes are necessary to compensate for these effects. ... The registration schemes briefly are: 1) image motion compensation (IMC) and 2) mirror motion compensation (MMC). The IMC removes spacecraft orbit and attitude motion from each image. The MMC automatically corrects for the predictable effects of the instrument mirror motions.

Record 4 2006-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Materials Engineering
DEF

A composite material in which one constituent is a metal or alloy forming at least one percolating network. The other constituent is embedded in this metal matrix and usually serves as reinforcement.

CONT

X-ray welding of metal-matrix composites. ... MMCs are composed of a metal (usually Ti or Al) within which a reinforcing ceramic (usually Al2O3 or SiC) particulate, whisker, or fiber is imbedded. These materials are lighter and have superior mechanical and thermal properties as compared to the base metal and are finding widespread use in many areas. They have great potential for use in the aerospace industry, provided a joining process that maintains the strength of the material can be found.

Key term(s)
  • metallic matrix composite
  • metal-matrix composite material

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie des matériaux
CONT

Les matériaux composites à matrice métallique (CMM) allient les avantages des composites organiques et des alliages métalliques. Ils sont composés d'une matrice métallique et de renforts particulaires ou fibreux.

CONT

Les matériaux composites à matrice métallique (MMCs) sont de plus en plus utilisés industriellement car leurs propriétés mécaniques sont meilleures que celles des alliages non renforcés. Les alliages d'aluminium sont généralement renforcés par des particules de carbure de silicium (SiC). Ce type de composite est réputé pour sa résistance spécifique et sa résistance à l'usure élevées mais également pour sa faible usinabilité.

CONT

Un matériau composite métallique est constitué d'un alliage métallique associé à des fibres dont la présence augmente considérablement les propriétés mécaniques et la tenue en température.

OBS

L'utilisation des matériaux composites à des températures supérieures à 300 °C interdit pratiquement l'usage des matrices organiques. La possibilité de noyer l'élément de renforcement dans une matrice métallique permet de franchir ce seuil de température.
