Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster. Shake: ... The International Space Station undergoes oscillations. If it is given a slight push, such as a bump from the Shuttle while undergoing a docking procedure, the ISS [International Space Station] vibrates with a to-and-fro shaking motion. Student Activity: Docking the Shuttle to an oscillating Space Station is a bit like trying to toss a ball into a swaying bucket from a distance. The trajectory of the ball must be perfect (the launch speed, angle and direction) and synchronized exactly with the motion of the oscillating bucket. Try it. Student Challenge: Clamp one end of a 30 cm steel ruler to the edge of a table so that it sticks straight out. Bend the free end of the ruler downward a few centimetres and release it. Observe what happens. Attach a heavy mass (approximately 200 grams), such as a large blob of putty or Plasticine, to the free end of the ruler. Again, depress the free end of the ruler a few centimetres and release it. Observe what happens. Try doubling the mass or changing the length of the free part of the ruler. Observe what happens to the motion of the ruler as the mass or length changes. Design an experiment to quantitatively measure the effect you have observed. Relate your findings to the oscillating behaviour of the International Space Station as it grows in mass and length. 1, record 3, English, - shake

Affiche «Rock’n’roll spatial». Vibrations :[...] La Station spatiale internationale oscille. Si elle subit une légère poussée, comme suite à un choc causé par la navette pendant les procédures d’amarrage, l'ISS vibre dans un mouvement de va-et-vient. Activité de l'élève : Amarrer la navette à une station spatiale oscillante est un peu comme essayer de lancer une balle dans un seau en mouvement. La trajectoire de la balle doit être parfaite(vitesse, angle et direction de lancement) et en synchronisme précis avec les mouvements du seau oscillant. Faites l'expérience. Défi : Fixez solidement une règle d’acier de 30 cm à l'extrémité d’une table de manière à ce qu'un bon bout de la règle dépasse de la table. Pliez l'extrémité de la règle vers le bas(quelques centimètres) et relâchez-la. Observez ce qui se passe. Fixez un poids(environ 200 grammes de mastic ou de pâte à modeler) au bout de l'extrémité libre de la règle. Une fois de plus, pliez le bout de la règle vers le bas et relâchez-la à nouveau. Observez ce qui se passe. Reprenez l'exercice en doublant le poids de la pâte ou en modifiant la longueur de la partie libre de la règle. Observez ce qui se passe au niveau du mouvement de la règle en fonction du changement de masse et de longueur. Élaborez une expérience qui permettra de mesurer quantitativement l'effet observé. Associez les résultats obtenus au comportement oscillatoire de la Station spatiale internationale à mesure que sa masse et sa longueur augmentent. 1, record 3, French, - vibrations

From the milling separator, the grain passes to a gravity separator. This machine separates materials that may be similar in shape and size but that differ in specific gravity, such as wheat and small stones. Uncleaned wheat is "floated" on a metal screen which is oscillating rapidly. The grain moves down the sloping screen to the outlet while the stones are propelled toward the head of the screen by the oscillating movement, and collected separately. Although only a very small percentage of stones may be present, their removal is important since they cause extensive damage to processing machinery. Also, if they are ground along with the wheat, the undesirable fine mineral matter will end up in the flour. 1, record 5, English, - metal%20screen

Du séparateur de mouture, le grain passe au séparateur-aspirateur qui en élimine les matières inertes dont la forme et les dimensions peuvent être celles du blé, mais qui sont d’un poids spécifique différent, comme le blé maigre et les petites pierres. Le blé non trié "plane" sur un tamis métallique qui est animé d’un mouvement d’oscillation rapide. Tandis que le grain suit l'inclinaison du tamis, les pierres sont projetées vers la tête de celui-ci par le mouvement oscillant et elles sont recueillies séparément. Bien qu'il n’ y ait que très peu de ces pierres, leur suppression est importante en raison des dommages importants qu'elles causeraient aux machines de meunerie. De plus, si elles étaient moulues ave le grain, les poussières minérales indésirables se mélangeraient à la farine. 1, record 5, French, - tamis%20m%C3%A9tallique

A new device, developed in Norway, harnesses energy from the ocean waves using a vertically oscillating float connected to a piston pump. Possible applications range from desalination of seawater and clean water supply to fish farms, to electricity production using a turbo-generator. This wave energy conversion unit is being developed by the Norwegian company ConWEC AS ... The ConWEC device absorbs wave energy by means of a float which oscillates up and down inside a cylindrical structure with a submerged opening through which waves can act. The energy in the waves is converted to mechanical energy by a pump with its piston rigidly connected to the float. Seawater can be pumped into an energy storage in the form of a pressure tank (or possibly an elevated water reservoir) from which a turbine can be run to complete the conversion to electrical energy. 2, record 7, English, - oscillating%20float

Netting is another product that can be made by an extrusion process in which sections of the die can move. Here, the die has at least one movable section with a large number of grooves in it. The movable section rotates as it oscillates along another die section with grooves. As polymer melt flows out of the grooves, netting will be produced by the relative movement of the die sections. 1, record 9, English, - netting

Pour réaliser une gaine maillée qui, ouverte peut donner un filet, on dispose de deux procédés. 1-[Maillage] par piston oscillant : la filière est alors constituée par l'intervalle compris entre un piston crénelé et un cylindre dans lequel il se meut, son mouvement est synchronisé de façon qu'en position haute on extrude un anneau normal, alors qu'en position basse on extrude seulement des joncs ayant le profil des créneaux : l'ensemble joncs et anneaux donne une gaine maillée [...] 2-[Maillage] par filière oscillante : ici une filière mobile comportant des créneaux tourne dans une filière fixe comportant également des créneaux. La matière extrudée passe ou ne passe pas suivant la position relative des créneaux de la partie mobile et ceux de la partie fixe.
