interaxis
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: interaxes
Etymology: From inter- + axis.
Senses: examples: text: The doors, windows, niches, and the like, are then placed centrally in the interaxes.
ref: 1842, Joseph Gwilt, Encyclopaedia of Architecture:
text: 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.
ref: 2002, Leonardo Benevolo, The Architecture of the Renaissance - Volume 1, page 72:
text: The analyses performed have shown the importance of the longitudinal distance (interaxis) for in-series applications.
ref: 2009, Alberto Lamberti, Leopoldo Franco, Giuseppe Roberto Tomasicchio, Coastal Structures 2007, page 1319:
text: 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.

glosses: The space between two axes.
examples: text: 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.
ref: 1854, James Dwight Dana, A System of Mineralogy, Comprising the Most Recent Discoveries, page 106:
text: 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.

text: 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.
ref: 1911, Alfred Edwin Howard Tutton, Crystallography and Practical Crystal Measurement, page 306:
text: 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.

glosses: A line from the center of a regular solid to the center of one of its edges.
examples: text: 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.
ref: 1983, F. Martelli, Twin-Screw Extruders: A Basic Understanding, page 93:
text: 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.
ref: 2013, Enrique Saldivar-Guerra, Eduardo Vivaldo-Lima, Handbook of Polymer Synthesis, Characterization, and Processing:
text: 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.
ref: 2019, Marco Valerio Masci, Vinyl - Digit 33-45: Acquisition Method: From Vinyl To Digital, page 28:
glosses: 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.
