English term

may not drift apart

English to Italian Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
Come tradurreste "may not drift apart"? "potrebbero non allontanarsi" oppure "non possono allontanarsi"?

"Since the amplitude of the reaction forces -and moments related to the restriction of relative motion will be proportional with the relative accelerations, the forces and moments will be largest along degrees of freedom dominated by wave excitation, and since the two floating structures may not drift apart during transfer operation, the connection arrangement may conveniently substantially freely allow relative motions dominated by wave excitation, while substantially restraining degrees of freedom related to slow drift motions."

non possono allontanarsi (l'uno dall'altro)

Potresti rendere "drift" con "derivare" (=andare alla deriva), ma solo se l'audience è particolarmente addentro al linguaggio tecnico del settore.

"May" vuole dare l'idea di "non gli è permesso", da cui l'italiano "non possono (dato di fatto).
