depliage

English translation: bending

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:depliage
English translation:bending
Entered by: reubenius

French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space
French term or phrase: depliage
On prend comme hypothèse que la présence du raidisseur permet de faire travailler en dépliage
-this comes under the heading 'calcul des plinthes'

Elsewhere in the document (validation of conformity for the flooring and attachments of a helicopter) 'cale de depliage' appears (which I understand is a shim), as does 'depliage cadre', 'calcul des charges admissibles en depliage sur structure support plancher cabine' and 'l'admissible en depliage est de ... daN'
TIA -much research on my part has yielded nothing (apart from the aforementioned shim).

bending
Explanation:
raidisseur = stiffener (Aero.)
I suspect the writer doesn't differentiate between bending and unbending!?
The stiffener(s) allow(s) bent/formed sheet-metal members to satisfy certain design loadings.

Grading comment
Sorry I took so long to grade -I was hoping for an answer from the client... I went for bending as in 'bending force/stress' (perhaps that was another context) after much research and reflection.
Thank you for all the answered.
