Introduction. p 119

IX. There are many engineering terms in the introduction, which can be translated differently. With your partner, decide which Russian equivalent suits the context better.

  tensile strength   прочность на разрыв/ степень вязкости/растягивающее усилие/растяжимость
  stress нагрузка /напряжение/ давление/ нажим/сила/интенсивность/внешнее воздействие
  strain деформация /натяжение/ напряжение /сила /искажение/текучесть
  resistance устойчивость/сопротивление/упругость  
  shape memory materials материал с запоминающейся формой/ придать особую форму материалу/материал с памятью формы

  adhesion прилипание/сцепление/трение/схватывание  
  stainless steel* p 121 steel не имеющий пятен/безупречный/чистый/нержавеющий

Х. Translation of noun phrases:

The important feature of the academic style is the use of complex noun phrases instead of word combinations with ‘of’: e.g.’ shape memory material’ instead of ‘material with the memory of shape’.

 

In order to translate these noun phrases, translate first the last word (material-материал), then translate the first words as definitions to the last word: ‘ what kind of material?’ с памятью формы.

Now translate the following noun phrases:

martensite-start temperature__________________________________________

carotid artery stenting________________________________________________

stainless steel filaments_______________________________________________

gel-like plastic materials________________________________________________
