Non-functional requirementIn systems engineering and requirements engineering, a non-functional requirement (NFR) is a requirement that specifies criteria that can be used to judge the operation of a system, rather than specific behaviours. They are contrasted with functional requirements that define specific behavior or functions. The plan for implementing functional requirements is detailed in the system design. The plan for implementing non-functional requirements is detailed in the system architecture, because they are usually architecturally significant requirements.
Bruit au travailLe bruit est une sensation auditive désagréable ou gênante. Au-delà d’un certain seuil, quand le niveau sonore est très élevé, tous les sons sont dangereux pour la santé. Au travail, le bruit peut avoir de multiples origines : machines, outils, véhicules... Le niveau du bruit se mesure en décibels . Selon l’Institut National de Recherche et de Sécurité, pour une journée de travail de 8 heures, l’ouïe est en danger à partir de 80 dB(A).
Software requirementsSoftware requirements for a system are the description of what the system should do, the service or services that it provides and the constraints on its operation. The IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology defines a requirement as: A condition or capability needed by a user to solve a problem or achieve an objective. A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formally imposed document.
Thermoset polymer matrixA thermoset polymer matrix is a synthetic polymer reinforcement where polymers act as binder or matrix to secure in place incorporated particulates, fibres or other reinforcements. They were first developed for structural applications, such as glass-reinforced plastic radar domes on aircraft and graphite-epoxy payload bay doors on the Space Shuttle. They were first used after World War II, and continuing research has led to an increased range of thermoset resins, polymers or plastics, as well as engineering grade thermoplastics.
Product requirements documentA product requirements document (PRD) is a document containing all the requirements for a certain product. It is written to allow people to understand what a product should do. A PRD should, however, generally avoid anticipating or defining how the product will do it in order to later allow interface designers and engineers to use their expertise to provide the optimal solution to the requirements. PRDs are most frequently written for software products, but they can be used for any type of product and also for services.
Hearing conservation programHearing conservation programs are designed to prevent hearing loss due to noise. Hearing conservation programs require knowledge about risk factors such as noise and ototoxicity, hearing, hearing loss, protective measures to prevent hearing loss at home, in school, at work, in the military and, and at social/recreational events, and legislative requirements.
Noise, vibration, and harshnessNoise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via jury evaluations, or with analytical tools that can provide results reflecting human subjective impressions. The latter tools belong to the field psychoacoustics.
Fibre de verreLa fibre de verre est un filament de verre. Par extension, les plastiques à renfort de verre sont aussi appelés fibre de verre. Les fibres de verre, constituent avec les verres creux, les verres plats et les verres cellulaires, les principales familles de verre. La fibre de verre a été brevetée en 1930. Ce n'est toutefois que récemment qu'elle a révolutionné l'industrie verrière, utilisée pour ses qualités mécaniques et optiques.
EnrobéUn enrobé (ou enrobé bitumineux ou béton bitumineux) est un mélange de graviers, de sable et de liant hydrocarboné type bitume (le goudron de houille n'étant plus utilisé en France depuis les ) appliqué en une ou plusieurs couches pour constituer la chaussée des routes, la piste des aéroports et d'autres zones de circulation. vignette|Couche de fondation d'une route en enrobé de type « grave bitume ». Un enrobé bitumineux est constitué de différents matériaux : des granulats : graviers de diamètre supérieur à 63 micromètres ; des « fines » (ou « fillers ») : sables et poussières de section inférieure à .
FiberFiber or fibre (British English; from fibra) is a natural or artificial substance that is significantly longer than it is wide. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials. The strongest engineering materials often incorporate fibers, for example carbon fiber and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. Synthetic fibers can often be produced very cheaply and in large amounts compared to natural fibers, but for clothing natural fibers can give some benefits, such as comfort, over their synthetic counterparts.
