English term or phrase:
crumple zones
Portuguese translation:
zonas de deformação
English term
crumple zones
Crumple zones yield during a crash, changing energy from the crash, into heat and sound, which in turn reduces the chances that the passengers in the car will be hurt. (Crumple Zones)
When used in crumple zones, lightweight plastic components can help absorb energy and save vehicle weight at the same time. (American Chemistry Council)
The downside to modern "soft design" crumple zones is that they allow more damage to occur to a vehicle even when the collision is relatively minor and of no major threat to the safety of the occupants, thereby increasing repair costs. (Autotropolis)

zonas de deformação
Zonas de deformação e diferentes tipos de aço A estrutura frontal da carroceria no novo Volvo S80 foi dividida em várias zonas, cada uma com diferentes funções durante o processo de deformação. As zonas externas são responsáveis pela maior parte da deformação. Quanto mais as forças da colisão se aproximam do compartimento dos passageiros, menos o material se deforma. (Salão do Automóvel)
zonas de amassamento
Zonas de amassamento: desenhada para serem comprimidas num acidente, absorvendo energia e assim diminuindo a transferência dela aos ocupantes (Revista Mecanicaonline)
| https://www.proz.com/faq/2764#2764 2.8 - I am not sure whether a question should be classified as non-PRO or PRO. What is the difference? While there may be no way to draw a clear-cut line, the following definition has been adopted: Non-PRO questions are those that can be answered by any bilingual person without the aid of a dictionary. All other questions are PRO. When applying the above definitions, detach yourself from your own background/specialisation and think of a - hypothetical - randomly selected bilingual person. Is it likely that this person would be able to produce a good translation of the term or phrase in question (and in the particular context shown) from the top of his/her head? If not, it is a PRO question. There is an article article that discusses this in more detail. https://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_asking/2.3#2.3 2.3 KudoZ questions must be properly classified. When posting a question, care should be taken to select the language pair, category (PRO vs Non-PRO), general and detailed subject fields, that are most suitable. The "general" and "other" subject fields should not be used when a more specific field is applicable. |
