What's the difference between crosshead and crossheading?
Crosshead
Definition:
(n.) A beam or bar across the head or end of a rod, etc., or a block attached to it and carrying a knuckle pin; as the solid crosspiece running between parallel slides, which receives motion from the piston of a steam engine and imparts it to the connecting rod, which is hinged to the crosshead.
Example Sentences:
(1) However, the crosshead displacement measurements diverged from the extensometer measurements as the compressive load increased.
(2) Each specimen was distracted until failure at a constant crosshead displacement rate of 2.5 mm s-1 (approximately 1.0% strain per second).
(3) A shear load was applied to the bonded cylinders at a crosshead speed of 0.02 in.min-1 in an Instron testing machine, and the shear bond strengths were calculated and expressed in MN.m-2.
(4) The bonds were stressed to failure in an Instron machine at a crosshead speed of 0.02 inch per minute.
(5) At 770 N, the crosshead measurement was nearly twice the extensometer displacement.
(6) The developed viscometer must be coupled with a sensitive mechanical testing machine capable of an adequate range of crosshead speeds that can be changed rapidly.
(7) Composite resin specimens of four different surface roughnesses at both ends of the specimens were loaded at one of three crosshead speeds.
(8) The downside of screws is that the screwhead can get blocked (especially if you use the crosshead type), making it difficult to remove them later.
(9) A shear load was applied to the bonded cylinders in an Instron machine at a crosshead speed of 0.02 inch.min-1.
(10) The specimens were stored in physiological saline at 37 degrees C for 24 hours prior to applying a shear load at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm.
(11) Crosshead speed and friction at the anvil have no significant effect on results, but compressive strength is a function of the diameter-length ratio of the cylinder and increases with this ratio.
(12) Shear bond tests were done in an Instron machine at a crosshead speed of 0.02 inches per minute.
(13) The testing machine crosshead displacement was used as one measure of displacement of the joint.
(14) The test specimens were disassembled 15 minutes after cure, stored in physiological saline at 37 degrees C for 24 hours, and the SBS determined in an Instron machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm.min.-1 The SBS was expressed in MPa.
(15) The set-up was subjected to a tensile load at a crosshead speed of 1 mm per min.
(16) Several cements showed a marked reduction of the mechanical properties when tested at a low crosshead speed or at 37 degrees C.
