Record 1 2015-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
DEF

The stress immediately occurring upon straining a specimen in a relaxation test.

OBS

Since it is nearly impossible to obtain stress readings at the instant of straining, the stress at a specified small increment of time after straining is a more reproducible value.

OBS

initial stress in stress relaxation: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
  • Apprêt et traitements divers (Textiles)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
DEF

Contrainte apparaissant immédiatement après la mise sous charge d'une éprouvette au cours d'un essai de relaxation.

OBS

Puisqu'il est presque impossible de faire des lectures de contraintes à l'instant de la mise sous contrainte, la contrainte après un temps très court donné, suivant la mise sous charge, est une valeur plus reproductible.

OBS

contrainte initiale en relaxation : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Fabricación de plásticos
  • Preparación y elaboración (Textiles)
  • Fiabilidad y ensayos (Ingeniería)
DEF

Esfuerzo que se presenta inmediatamente después de deformar un espécimen en un ensayo de relajación.

OBS

Como es casi imposible obtener lecturas de esfuerzo en el instante de la deformación, el esfuerzo en un pequeño incremento de tiempo después de la deformación es un valor más fácil de reproducir.

Record 2 2008-08-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Defence
  • Paradrop and Airdrop
DEF

initial force: A force peak resulting from the completion of that portion of a parachute canopy inflation process wherein the canopy fills from the skirt to the vent.

OBS

Under normal loading conditions, this is not the maximum opening force for a solid flat circular canopy, but is the maximum for canopies of the extended-skirt and geometric-porosity type.

CONT

Reefing assembly for a circular parachute: A reefing assembly for a circular parachute having a canopy including a skirt portion, and suspension lines attached to the skirt portion. The assembly includes a tension structure bounding a central opening and having a plurality of straight segments. A plurality of cords, each cord having two ends, are each fixed to one end of one of the tension structure straight segments to define a loop, and a plurality of rings slidably disposed on each of the loops. Each of the rings is slidably connected to at least one of the suspension lines. The rings are clustered together at a central portion of their respective loops, and upon deployment of the canopy, slide along their respective loops to become substantially equidistantly disposed on their respective loops. The assembly facilitates a restrained opening of the canopy and thereby reduces opening shock load.
