English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction Methods
  • Rail Traffic Control
CONT

Vibration velocity measures how much the ground will move when a train passes by. It can be reduced by vibration isolation systems, changing the design of the equipment, or using vibration damping materials.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés de construction
  • Circulation des trains
CONT

La vitesse de vibration mesure l'ampleur du mouvement du sol au passage d'un train. Elle peut être réduite par des systèmes d'isolation des vibrations, en modifiant la conception de l'équipement ou en utilisant des matériaux amortissant les vibrations.

CONT

A reactor core isolation cooling system includes a reactor pressure vessel containing a reactor core, a drywell vessel, a containment vessel, and an isolation pool containing an isolation condenser. A turbine is operatively joined to the pressure vessel outlet steamline and powers a pump operatively joined to the pressure vessel feedwater line. In operation, steam from the pressure vessel powers the turbine which in turn powers the pump to pump makeup water from a pool to the feedwater line into the pressure vessel for maintaining water level over the reactor core.

Record 4 2003-12-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Active Rack Isolation System (ARIS) is designed to isolate payload racks from vibration such that the on-rack environment will meet the system vibratory specifications ... The ARIS is an active electromechanical damping system attached to an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] that senses the vibratory environment with accelerometers, then damps it by introducing a compensating force. The ARIS components reside both inside and outside the ISPR.

OBS

active rack isolation system; ARIS: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
CONT

Afin que les [infimes] vibrations causées par l'équipage à bord de l'ISS n'affectent pas les expériences, ARIS a été mis au point. Il agit comme un tampon, absorbant les perturbations afin que celles-ci ne faussent pas les données des expérimentations.

OBS

système actif d'isolation contre les vibrations; ARIS : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aerospace Medicine
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

... CEVIS is used for systemic aerobic conditioning and can be applied to independent upper and lower limb activity. As with the TVIS, its vibration isolation system counteracts (isolates) translations in x, y, and z, as well as roll, pitch and yaw.

OBS

cycle ergometer with vibration isolation system; CEVIS: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Most LTMPF [Low-Temperature Microgravity Physics Facility] experiments are sensitive to random vibrations, charged particles, and stray magnetic fields. ... A passive vibration isolation system attenuates higher frequency (>1Hz) vibration inputs from the ISS [International Space Station] to below 500 micro g rms. Several layers of magnetic shielding are built into the instrument probe to protect the experiments from on-orbit variations in the magnetic field environment.
