Essai Rockwell.-Le pénétrateur est soit une bille, soit un cône de diamant(...) On mesure non pas la surface d’empreinte mais sa profondeur. Afin d’obtenir une surface de référence à partir de laquelle sera mesurée la pénétration du poinçon, on soumet celui-ci à une précharge faible(...) puis à une seconde charge(...) On mesure ensuite la distance(...) séparant les deux positions successives occupées par l'extrémité du pénétrateur. L'utilisation de la précharge permet d’éliminer les erreurs dues aux irrégularités de l'état de surface du métal. 1, record 4, French, - essai%20Rockwell

Rammer test.... A test for investigating the resistance of a geotextile to puncturing by falling stones has been developed by the Bundesanstalt fur Wasserbau ... in Germany. This test is carried out with a special 30 kg rammer.... The rammer test is carried out with a fall height of 2.0 m or 1.0 m depending on the stone to be used in the construction. The geotextile is placed on a layer of compacted sand and kept in place by means of a 170 kg concrete ring. Three tests are carried out in the machine, cross and diagonal direction of the geotextile. A geotextile is considered to be puncture resistant in this test if all the tests carried out show no puncturing. Each test is carried out on a new specimen. 1, record 5, English, - rammer%20test

Percement. Cette caractéristique résulte de la concentration d’une sollicitation mécanique qui peut être engendrée soit à vitesse lente, soit à vitesse rapide(effet dynamique). Le percement d’une nappe est complexe à analyser, car il dépend d’un grand nombre de paramètres que l'on maîtrise difficilement(vitesse d’impact, forme du poinçon ou du projectile). On recense trois types de processus de percements différents qui aboutissent à une altération du géotextile : perforation(coupure), poinçonnement(effet de compression), éclatement(mise en pression localisée). Expression du résultat : selon la méthode d’essai, le percement s’exprime sous forme d’une dimension géométrique, d’une force ou d’une pression. 2, record 5, French, - essai%20de%20percement%20au%20poin%C3%A7on

The Corps of Engineers first developed the puncture test for geotextiles in the early 1970s. The original Corps method specified the following: ASTM Method of Testing Coated Fabric ... tension testing machine with ring clamp and replacing the steel ball with an 8-mm ... diameter solid steel cylinder (flat tip) centered within the ring clamp. Since its origin, the U.S. Corps of Engineers has modified the original puncture test to use a hemispherical tip probe rather than a flat tip probe to penetrate the geotextile. 1, record 6, English, - puncture%20test

Although not only related to the separation function, the geotextile during its placement must survive the installation process. Indeed, fabric survivability is critical in all types of applications;... In this regard, sharp stones, tree stumps, roots, miscellaneous debris, and so on, on the ground beneath the geotextile present a problem for puncturing through the fabric after stone base and traffic loads are imposed above it. 1, record 8, English, - puncture%20resistance
