peer agreement (net): +1I'm working on this - see results so far below Explanation: Definition of "fusible": A cone shaped object used in car manufacturing cf.: www.lequotidienauto.com/mag/030818/slr/impression.asp - 30k Ci-dessus, la pièce achevée. Ce cône sert de "fusible" en cas de choc à l'avant et absorbe une part de l'énergie. AND crush zone, crumple zone see www.machinedesign.com/ASP/strArticleID/56432/ strSite/MDSite/viewSelectedArticle.asp - 30k - Cached <http://66.102.11.104/search?q=cache:qqTPjHz-L0kJ:www.machine... strArticleID/56432/strSite/MDSite/viewSelectedArticle.asp+energy+absorption+ car+buffer+zone&hl=en&ie=UTF-8> - Similar pages </search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=related:www.machinedesign.com/ASP/str ArticleID/56432/strSite/MDSite/viewSelectedArticle.asp> just ask for : energy absorption car buffer zone, on Google and there's a bit about Alstom's Acela train IT IS CLEARLY some sort of SHEAR device HTH Chris -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-23 08:39:36 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In fact it\'s not the Acela, it\'s the Pendolino and the text that is interesting mentions the metal fixture which in fact is the crush zone. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-23 09:19:49 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NOT QUOTE THERE YET but: on Google.com, under \"energy absorption\", you are referred to the site of Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. This site gives a description of the SLR McLaren latest model, with an indication of the material used for energy absorption: -carbon fibre composites - conical carbon fibres nothing on fusible Then, this what I found on an another site called : www.germancarfans.com under Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren: \"In a collision, the fibres of the carbon fibre composite elements shred from front to rear, absorbing the energy of the impact with constant deceleration. Thanks to this steady deformation behaviour, the energy absorption of the carbon fibre longitudinal members can be tuned to meet specific requirements. The engineers achieve this, for example, by creating a constantly changing cross-sectional area for the components. This fine tuning means that the deceleration values result not only in predictable energy absorption behaviour but also in a weight advantage, because this design uses only as much material as is actually needed.\" I may be busy but I want to lick this one, especially since I know the history behind it! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-23 09:37:52 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- RIGHT - I THINK WE\'RE ALMOST THERE: under http://www.european-patent-office.org/correct/01_3pdfdocs/11... I found in French: \"dans une variante préférée de ce mode de réalisation le moyen de fixation est fusible et démontable\" Clearly in \"your\" text, the word \"fusible\" is an ADJECTIVE meaning \"fusible\" or meltable\" It must therefore mean: in the event of major impact, the FUSIBLE energy absorption componenst/parts/devices/units (I hesistate as to the best term without more context) may be replaced. In the end, the first answer given above was not so far off BUT the word order makes all the difference. HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-23 09:38:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Forget the \"shear\" - I was right off course there! The cones don\'t shear, they melt ! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-23 09:39:10 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Forget the \"shear\" - I was right off course there!

6 hrs confidence:
replaceable energy absorption elements Explanation: In this context I think you can translate "fusibles" to mean "replaceable" (or renewable), in the same way as fuses in electrical installations are effectively replaceable or, nowadays, "resettable". It seems to me that you have backup elements in the shock absorption system to protect it in case of extreme shock, and these elements (cone-shaped or whatever) can be easily replaced. Maybe the term is "replaceable shock absorbers". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs 28 mins (2004-01-23 11:36:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In response to CMJ\'s \"neutral\" comment - yes of course you are right - but I am sure that the asker Lien can figure out how to structure the final wording. The key for me in this one was the concept of \"fusible\" as \"replaceable\". |
