se calcula

Spanish to English Other Engineering (general)
Hola a todos!

coloqué esta pregunta aquí porque no estaba muy segura del campo. Lo que necesito es comprender bien la oración, qué es lo que se calcula.

http://www.aepo.es/aepo-old/ausc/publ/placadecarga.pdf

Donde r es el radio y las tensiones “o” y asientos “s” se calculan de la curva
carga/asientos, en dos ciclos de cargas, a partir de la inclinación de la secante entre los
puntos 0,3F1max y 0,7F1max.
Ver ejemplo de aplicación más adelante.

He preguntado al cliente y me ha dicho:

Sería “Se calcula con” o “a partir de” la curva de carga asentamiento. Es decir que se observa el diagrama (que es una tabla X / Y) y se obtiene el resultado gráficamente.

Lo que no me queda claro es a quién pertenece ese "calculan".

Gracias

Debo

Non-PRO (2): Neil Ashby, Laureana Pavon

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

HHi Neil! Thanks for your help. I meant that I didn’t know in which field to place the question, not that it’s not my field. The sentence is inside a larger test which is inside my specialty ;).
Neil Ashby Jun 15, 2012:
@ asker I'm loathed to help when you yourself admit this is not your field (leave the job for somebody else then!!!) but I know what you want to know ;~) "...and the tensions/stresses "o" and (seats) "s" are calculated from the charge/(seats) curve" - hardwork done for you!
Débora Corones (asker) Jun 15, 2012:
Y qué sería lo que se calcula a partir de la curva...porque antes describe, no sé si interpretar que todo eso se calcula a partir...

Fijate el comentario que me hace el cliente :)
David Hollywood Jun 15, 2012:
yo diría que es "se calcula"

Hola David,

gracias por tu respuesta... mi duda en concreto es saber cual es el sujeto de "se calculan"... por como esta redactado, me pierde...

The grammar is convoluted, but is as follows:

"... tomando un coeficiente de Poisson de 0,20 se tiene ... donde r es el radio y (las tensiones y asientos se calculan de la curva carga/asientos) ..."

So, the subject of "se calculan" is the compound noun phrase "las tensiones y los asientos"!

I'd translate as " the modulus of deformation, defined by ... where r is the radius, and the loading pressure and displacements can be seen on the stress-strain curve, this being used to derive the slope of the secant between the points ..."

Part of the problem is that the actual loading pressure and displacements which are used to plot the curve aren't actually of any interest here - all that's actually being read from this curve is the slope of the secant!
