nouninteraxis (plural interaxes)

plural interaxes

  1. architectureThe space between two axes.

    The doors, windows, niches, and the like, are then placed centrally in the interaxes.

    The small order is 16½ braccia high, i.e. eleven times the diameter of the base of the columns (which is 1½ braccia) and one and a half times the interaxis.

    The analyses performed have shown the importance of the longitudinal distance (interaxis) for in-series applications.

    Indeed, when the light-frame elements and the timber-frame ones are of different widths (the studs/mullions with respect to the posts and the rafters with respect to the sloped beams), and when there is a constant interaxis from center to center between them, the span between them cannot be constant; and vice versa, when the span is kept constant, the interaxis from center to center cannot be constant.

  2. geometryA line from the center of a regular solid to the center of one of its edges.

    The principles of analytical geometry afford the means of determining how much the interaxes of the regular octahedron must be increased or diminished to equal the interaxes in these different forms.

    Owing to this I was only able, by breaking a number of the quartz pieces, to obtain one small crystal representing a distorted rhombic dodecahedron ∞ 0(110), i.e., one extended in the line of an octahedral or trigonal interaxis, giving it the appearance of an hexagonal prism terminated by a rhombohedron (see fig. 2) in striking resemblance to dioptase.

    1885, George H. F. Ulrich, “Notes on some Mineral Occurrences At Dusky Sound, West coast of Middle Island, New Zealand”, in The New Zealand Journal of Science, volume 1, page 309

    When the position is as given in the stereographic projection in Fig. 265, the angle over the axial-plane polar edges is the more acute, but if the pole were placed nearer to the crystallographic than to the interaxis, as in the case of the dihexagonal pyramid {2131} of beryl shown in Fig . 266, the case would be reversed.

    1911, Alfred Edwin Howard Tutton, Crystallography and Practical Crystal Measurement, page 306

    In the traditional valence bond approach above, the decrease of the bron position parameter improves the bond strength of the (sp³)_z hybrid, but it increases the misfit between direction of the boron-metal interaxis and direction (z-axis) of (sp³)_z hybrid.

  3. The distance between the axes (centers of rotation) of two items that interact along a spiral groove, such as intermeshing screws or a vinyl record and needle.

    Because the screws are intermeshing and conjugated, and their interaxis is fixed, the larger the channel depth h, the larger the screws external diameter D.

    1983, F. Martelli, Twin-Screw Extruders: A Basic Understanding, page 93

    In addition, TSE can either be intermeshing (Fig. 23.7), when the interaxis (l) is less than the sum of the radii of the two screws, that is when the flights of one screw penetrate into the channel of the other screw and vice versa; or nonintermeshing, when the interaxis is equal to the sumb of the radii of the two screws, that is, when the tip of the flights of one screw just toucches the tip of the flights of the other screw.

    But the modulations of the groove, which produce micro changes in acceleration (by micro angular/tangential variations), lead to changes in the stalemate conditions of the cantilever by changing the orthogonal alignment between its interaxis and the tangent of the groove.

  1. not comparableBetween axes (any sense).

    In early stages of mineralization the molecules are parallel to the fibril axis with an average interaxis distance of 1.8 nm.

    It is possible to give smaller interaxis distance than the rotor radius when the shafts are inclined a small angle to each other (so-called " Synchropter ") , and the limiting case this interaxis distance approaching zero is the coaxial rotors configuration.

    1957, Ōsaka Furitsu Daigaku, Bulletin of University of Osaka Prefecture, page 42

    The single-axis approach to the design of the servosystem is expedient, but it ignores the effect of mechanical and electromechanical interaxis coupling.

    1959, NASA Technical Note - Issues 2981-2990, page 26

    A data subset is selected between the B2 and B3 axes as shown, with enlarged interaxis distance better showing the vertical bands in Fig. 10.6 (left) to select a data subset that corresponds on the map to regions with high vegetation.

    2009, Alfred Inselberg, Parallel Coordinates, page 387

    The interaxis angles for human deoxyhemoglobin and horse methemoglobin are based on the refined heme iron positions as given in references 7 and 11, respectively.

    2012, Winslow Caughey, Biochemical and Clinical Aspects of Hemoglobin Abnormalities, page 101

    Intermeshing screws are designed such that their interaxis distance (center-to-center distance between the axis of the screws) is much smaller than the sum of their radii.

  2. not comparablebusinessPertaining to the perpendicularity (or deviation therefrom) of a set of resolver windings when another set of windings is excited.

    However, interaxis perpendicularity errors will be included [ see paragraph M ) ] .

    Inherent electrical errors, which consist of conformity and interaxis errors, result from rotor and stator ellipticity and eccentricity, and imperfect winding and flux distribution.

    1985, Harold A. Rothbart, Mechanical Design and Systems Handbook, page 41-11

    For rotor interaxis error, one stator winding is excited; for stator interaxis error, one rotor winding is excited.

    1999, Rudolf F. Graf, Modern Dictionary of Electronics, page 384

    For less aggressive maneuvers, it simply states that interaxis coupling should not be objectionable. Interaxis coupling is measured by making an input in the desired axis and holding the other axes fixed.

    2000, Society of Experimental Test Pilots. Symposium, Symposium Proceedings - Volumes 44-45, page 128

    These accelerometers have a sensitivity of 10−11 mss −2 Hz−1/2, and an interaxis orthogonality and interaxis alignment accuracy of 10−6 rad.

    2006, Fritz K. Brunner, Chris Rizos, Developments in Four-Dimensional Geodesy

    In addition, the adaptive controller is able to minimize the interaxis offset error (by manipulation of the parameter K; see (11.22)), whereas the decoupled PID controller was only able to track individual trajectories independently.
