The degenerate orthotropic material of the wedge is characterized by doubled roots of the characteristic equation.
Each wedge is characterized by a certain curvature and angle between the sides that define the bending radius, R, and angle, α, respectively.
Given the geometry and strength, the wedge is characterized by an extensionally critical state if the basal friction is sufficiently low, whereas under high basal friction, a compressively critical state is dominant (e.g., Wang and Hu [2006]).
The wedge fractures are characterized by deformed structure of the anterior part of the vertebrae, the biconcave of the middle part, and the compression of the total vertebrae.
The in vivo dosimetry system using p-type diode dosimeters on the entrance surface for wedged beams was characterized for clinical use.
Grade I is characterized by wedge-shaped vertebral bodies, endplate irregularities, and Schmorl's nodes.
During the late Miocene (Messinian), a continental fault-controlled basin (of nearly 500-km2 wasth) was filled by precipitated travertine and detrital terrigenous strata, characterized by a wedge-shaped geometry that thinned northward, with a maximum thickness of nearly 70 m.
The deformation history and state of machined surfaces in low-speed cutting of metals with sharp, wedge-shaped tools have been characterized using high-speed image analysis, complemented by hardness and microstructure study.
It is characterized by the wedge-like shape of its pectoral fin disc, which is much wider than long, as well as by the pointed teeth in both sexes, whip-like tail with extremely long tail spine, and uniform violet to blue-green coloration.
Some cases include signs of pulmonary infarction, characterized by a wedge-shaped peripheral pulmonary parenchymal opacity with a pleural base and an apex oriented toward the occluded pulmonary artery.
