Simulation de phénomènesLa simulation de phénomènes est un outil utilisé dans le domaine de la recherche et du développement. Elle permet d'étudier les réactions d'un système à différentes contraintes pour en déduire les résultats recherchés en se passant d'expérimentation. Les systèmes technologiques (infrastructures, véhicules, réseaux de communication, de transport ou d'énergie) sont soumis à différentes contraintes et actions. Le moyen le plus simple d'étudier leurs réactions serait d'expérimenter, c'est-à-dire d'exercer l'action souhaitée sur l'élément en cause pour observer ou mesurer le résultat.
Motor driveMotor drive means a system that includes a motor. An adjustable speed motor drive means a system that includes a motor that has multiple operating speeds. A variable speed motor drive is a system that includes a motor and is continuously variable in speed. If the motor is generating electrical energy rather than using it – this could be called a generator drive but is often still referred to as a motor drive. A variable frequency drive (VFD) or variable speed drive (VSD) describes the electronic portion of the system that controls the speed of the motor.
Variateur électronique de vitessethumb|Petit variateur de vitesse thumb|Électronique du variateur de vitesse ci-dessus Un variateur électronique de vitesse (en anglais, variable frequency drive ou VFD) est un dispositif destiné à régler la vitesse et le couple d'un moteur électrique à courant alternatif en faisant varier respectivement la fréquence et la tension, délivrées à la sortie de celui-ci. Leurs applications vont des plus petits aux plus grands moteurs, comme ceux utilisés par les perceuses.
Induction motorAn induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. An induction motor can therefore be made without electrical connections to the rotor. An induction motor's rotor can be either wound type or squirrel-cage type. Three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors are widely used as industrial drives because they are self-starting, reliable, and economical.
Disque durUn disque dur (parfois abrégé DD ; en anglais, hard disk drive, HD ou HDD) est une mémoire de masse à disque tournant magnétique utilisée principalement dans les ordinateurs, mais également dans des baladeurs numériques, des caméscopes, des lecteurs/enregistreurs de DVD de salon, des consoles de jeux vidéo Inventé en 1956, le disque dur a fait l'objet d'évolutions de capacité et de performances considérables, tout en voyant son coût diminuer, ce qui a contribué à la généralisation de son utilisation, partic
Optical disc driveIn computing, an optical disc drive is a disc drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near the visible light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs. Some drives can only read from certain discs, but recent drives can both read and record, also called burners or writers (since they physically burn the organic dye on write-once CD-R, DVD-R and BD-R LTH discs). Compact discs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs are common types of optical media which can be read and recorded by such drives.
Electric motorAn electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
AC motorAn AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets, reluctance saliency, or DC or AC electrical windings.
Hard disk drive performance characteristicsHigher performance in hard disk drives comes from devices which have better performance characteristics. These performance characteristics can be grouped into two categories: access time and data transfer time (or rate). The access time or response time of a rotating drive is a measure of the time it takes before the drive can actually transfer data. The factors that control this time on a rotating drive are mostly related to the mechanical nature of the rotating disks and moving heads.
Training simulationIn business, training simulation is a virtual medium through which various types of skills can be acquired. Training simulations can be used in a variety of genres; however they are most commonly used in corporate situations to improve business awareness and management skills. They are also common in academic environments as an integrated part of a business or management course. The word simulation implies an imitation of a real-life process, usually via a computer or other technological device, in order to provide a lifelike experience.
