French to English: TECHNICAL
Source text - French Synonymes de bien-être et de liberté, mais aussi d’innovation, de compétitivité, de performance et de précision, les articles de sport ont conquis le monde entier (hausse de 6.8% aux Etats-Unis et 1.9% en Europe de la consommation d’articles de sport en 2005). Que ce soit dans le sport de compétition mais aussi dans le sport de loisir, le secteur évolue constamment et rapidement en termes de goût personnel, de jeux populaires et de technologies. La notion de performance inclut Innovation, Efficacité et Rapidité; les enjeux de la fabrication des articles de sport sont de ce fait très ciblés : la recherche de la diminution du poids ne doit pas se faire au détriment de la résistance des matériaux. Les matériaux utilisés dans le domaine du sport étant déjà très performants, leurs propriétés mécaniques ne peuvent guère être améliorées davantage en utilisant des charges conventionnelles. Il n’est donc pas étonnant de retrouver de plus en plus d’articles renforcés par des nanotubes de carbone dans le commerce. XXXXXX s’est engagée à développer des techniques de fabrication de nouveaux matériaux à base de nanotubes de carbone pour répondre à ces besoins. **************************************************************************************** SKI : • Très bonne résistance mécanique • Meilleure flexibilité et rigidité : permet de transmettre avec efficacité les appuis • Résistance à l'usure thermique et à la fatigue • Matériau anticorrosion • Amortissement des vibrations • Matériau plus léger ****************************************************************************************** Voile : Du verre au carbone en passant par les aramides, les matériaux utilisés dans la construction de bateaux multi coques Haute Performance ont largement évolués depuis 20 ans. La transformation des géométries, le besoin en économie de poids et la nécessité d'une performance haute qualité sous de mauvaises conditions climatiques et en mer, ont amené à un nouveau choix de matériaux composites pour la fabrication de ces bateaux. Actuellement les critères de conception sont basés sur une rigidité structurelle et un niveau de charge des pièces très proche des limites de résistance des matériaux. Ces nouveaux matériaux doivent être capables, en cas de mauvais temps, de contrer une grande énergie d'impact des vagues : il est donc important d'utiliser des matériaux très résistants à l'impact et ayant une bonne tolérance à la corrosion. Un bon rapport poids/rigidité est également requis pour obtenir de hautes performances. L'enjeu est donc de construire des bateaux plus rapides, légers, robustes, dans des matériaux plus durables. Des coques en fibres de carbone extrêmement fines, légères et rigides ont été conçues pour la coupe de l'America 2003. Malgré les prouesses considérables du carbone en matière de solidité (15 fois celle de l'acier) et rigidité (3 fois celles des métaux traditionnels), les matériaux en carbone ne restent pas moins cassants et ne se déforment pas sous haute charge ou à l'impact. Grâce à leurs extraordinaires propriétés de renfort mécanique, les nanotubes de carbone représentent les molécules les plus adaptées pour surmonter ces problèmes. Mais leur singularité ne s'arrête pas là, les NTCs montrent également une meilleure résistance à la corrosion et à la fatigue.	Translation - English Synonymous with well-being and freedom, as well as innovation, competitiveness, performance and precision, sporting goods have achieved popular appeal around the world (in 2005, the consumption of sporting goods saw a rise of 6.8% in the United States and 1.9% in Europe). In both competitive sport and leisure sports activity, the sector continues to develop rapidly in terms of consumer tastes, popular games and technology. The performance concept is based on Innovation, Efficiency and Speed; as a result, it is essential that the manufacturing of sporting goods is specifically targeted: research into reducing the weight of materials should not be to the detriment of their resistance. As the materials available on the sports market are already high-performing, their mechanical properties cannot be improved any further by using traditional filler materials. It is therefore not surprising to find an increasing number of goods reinforced with carbon nanotubes on the market. XXXXXX is committed towards developing techniques for manufacturing new materials based on carbon nanotubes, to meet these industry needs. **************************************************************************************** SKIING: • Exceptional mechanical resistance • Enhanced flexibility and rigidity: for an advanced power transfer system • Resistance to thermal wear and tear and fatigue • Anti-corrosive properties • Vibration damping • Extremely low-weight material ****************************************************************************************** Sailing: From carbon glass to aramid fibres, the High Performance materials used for building multi-hull boats have been extensively developed over the past 20 years. Geometric transformations, low weight requirements and the need for high-quality performance in adverse weather conditions at sea, have each led to the development of new composite materials for manufacturing these boats. Currently, the design criteria are based on structural rigidity and a load-bearing that is consistent with the resistance limits of the materials. In the event of adverse weather conditions, these new materials must be able to withstand high impact loads from waves: it is therefore crucial that impact-resistant materials are used and that they demonstrate good corrosion resistance. An effective weight/rigidity ratio is also a prerequisite for achieving High-performance. The essential goal is therefore to build boats more quickly, more robustly and with lighter and more durable materials The carbon fibre hulls are extremely slender, light-weight and rigid and were designed for the 2003 America’s Cup. Despite the outstanding properties of carbon in terms of strength (15 times that of steel) and rigidity (3 times that of traditional metals), carbon materials are no less brittle and do not bend out of shape under high loads or following impact. Thanks to their extraordinary reinforced mechanical properties, carbon nanotubes contain the molecules best adapted to withstand extreme mechanical strain. However their uniqueness doesn’t stop there, CNTs have also demonstrated better fatigue and corrosion resistance.
