the modules Explanation: I understand that it refers to some cathodic protection system, therefore I guess that it is about the modules for the power supply. See reference -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-02-03 10:42:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- following the discussion entry of Michael at 12:23h EET I see that it does not seem likely that it is about the cathodic protection modules. "Charges" here is not the electric charge of a cathodic protection, but "fillers". Therefore it looks more likely that Nikki is right guessing "modules de flexion" et "module de cisaillement". Anyway "rapport resine sur charges" is "ratio resin to fillers". Reference: http://www.bacgroup.com/en/Products/Electrical-Engineering/S... |

peer agreement (net): +4modulus, modules Explanation: Thank you for your extra context. I think it is highly likely that the term in English will be the same, but I understand that is not the main reason behind your question. If nothing which precedes the first use of the term, then it is probably meant to be understood as is; which gets us nowhere fast! One solution may be to contact the client. In the meantime, this may help. It relates to flexion modules which describe resistance: http://www.master194.com/encyclo/resine/index.htm Module : Le module (module de flexion) est la résistance du matériau, exprimée en daN qui renseigne sur la résistance mécanique du matériau. Plus le module est élevé, plus le matériau est dur. Here is another source : http://www.ettore-yachting.com/Files/30796/160_Chap6_Les_bat... page 9 : "Ex : module de flexion longitudinale (parallèlement aux fibres de l'U.D.) Ey : module de flexion transversale (perpendiculairement aux fibres de l'U.D.) = caractérise la résine. Gxy : module de cisaillement dans le plan du stratifié = caractérise l'interface. Baisse en % des caractéristiques mécaniques : Rx : résistance de rupture en flexion longitudinale (parallèlement aux fibres de l'U.D.) Ry : résistance de rupture en flexion transversale (perpendiculairement aux fibres de l'U.D.) = caractérise la résine. Tx : résistance de rupture en cisaillement longitudinal (parallèlement aux fibres de l'U.D.) Ty : résistance de rupture en cisaillement transversal (perpendiculairement aux fibres de l'U.D.) = caractérise l'interface." Check out also : "Elastic modulus" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_modulus "...is the mathematical description of an object or substance's tendency to be deformed elastically (i.e., non-permanently) when a force is applied to it. The elastic modulus of an object is defined as the slope of its stress–strain curve in the elastic deformation region:[1] As such, a stiffer material will have a higher elastic modulus. where lambda (λ) is the elastic modulus; stress is the restoring force caused due to the deformation divided by the area to which the force is applied; and strain is the ratio of the change caused by the stress to the original state of the object. If stress is measured in pascals, since strain is a dimensionless quantity, then the units of λ are pascals as well.[2] Since the denominator turns into unity if length is doubled, the elastic modulus becomes the stress induced in the material, when the sample of the material turns double of its original length on applying external force. While this endpoint is not realistic because most materials will fail before reaching it, it is practical, in that small fractions of the defining load will operate in exactly the same ratio. Thus, for steel with a Young's modulus of 30 million psi, a 30 thousand psi load will elongate a 1 inch bar by one thousandth of an inch; similarly, for metric units, where a thousandth of the modulus in gigapascals will change a meter by a millimeter. Specifying how stress and strain are to be measured, including directions, allows for many types of elastic moduli to be defined. The three primary ones are: Young's modulus (E) describes tensile elasticity, or the tendency of an object to deform along an axis when opposing forces are applied along that axis; it is defined as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain. It is often referred to simply as the elastic modulus. The shear modulus or modulus of rigidity (G or ) describes an object's tendency to shear (the deformation of shape at constant volume) when acted upon by opposing forces; it is defined as shear stress over shear strain. The shear modulus is part of the derivation of viscosity. The bulk modulus (K) describes volumetric elasticity, or the tendency of an object to deform in all directions when uniformly loaded in all directions; it is defined as volumetric stress over volumetric strain, and is the inverse of compressibility. The bulk modulus is an extension of Young's modulus to three dimensions. Three other elastic moduli are Poisson's ratio, Lamé's first parameter, and P-wave modulus." You will probably find references to YOung's modulus in connexion with elastic modulus too. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-02-03 10:55:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2013-02-03 20:15:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.cours.polymtl.ca/mec6306/Fibre de carbone.pdf Carbon fibers can alternatively be classified on the basis of their tensile strength and modulus. UHM (ultra high modulus) type: carbon fibers with modulus greater than 500 GPa HM (high modulus) type: carbon fibers with modulus greater than 300 GPa and strength-to-modulus ratio less than 1% IM (intermediate modulus) type: carbon fibers with modulus up to 300 GPa and strength-to-modulus ratio above 1 x 1O-2 LM (Low-modulus) type: carbon fibers with modulus as low as 100 GPa and low strength. They have an isotropic structure HT (high strength) type: carbon fibers with strength greater than 3 GPa and strength-to-modulus ratio between 1.5 and 2 x 1O -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2013-02-03 20:17:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And the work by the company SP-High Modulus in Auckland. ...
