Sentence examples for wedge configuration from inspiring English sources

The medical history of the patient revealed an opening wedge high tibial osteotomy performed nine years earlier, with insertion of two blocks of ceramic made of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate in a wedge configuration as synthetic bone substitutes.

Furthermore, an experimental setup, similar to the standard ASTM E 2021 test, is used to determine the minimum ignition temperatures of coal layers of various thicknesses and to assess the ignition scenario in the wedge configuration using an effective length scale.

These studies were first performed in the static inhomogeneous electric field distribution of a pair of electrodes in a wedge configuration, generating an electric field gradient along the axis of the atomic beam.

We obtained two parameters representing the wedge configuration, i.e., the taper angle α + β (where α is the surface slope angle and β is the décollement dip angle) and the angle between the décollement and the back-stop interface, from the sea-beam topographic map and seismic reflection profiles (Tsuru et al. [2002]; Tsuji et al. [2011]) (Figures 1 and 3).

The thickness of the Quaternary Miocene layers is 3 3.5 km in the western part and becomes thinner in the eastern part of Line B. Kato et al. (2013) reported that the east-dipping main fault exists below the Echigo Mountains and connects with the west-dipping Tsukioka fault at a depth of 2 km, forming a wedge configuration with the fault and the pre-Neogene basement.

The wedged configuration has been selected as the baseline.

A wedged configuration with Coulomb friction is a nontrivial equilibrium state of a linear elastic body in a frictional unilateral contact with a rigid body under vanishing external loads.

We analyze here the relation between the geometry of the elastic body and the friction coefficient for which wedged configurations exist in a 3-D context.

The 2D wedge model configuration is the same as that used by de Groot-Hedlin and Constable (2004) and Zhang et al. (2009).

Later that decade, McMenamin et al. demonstrated that the general configuration of the TM changes with age, from a "long wedge shape to a shorter, more rhomboidal form," and also observed decreased cellularity and thickening of the TM [ 1].

Three wedge boundary configurations: barrier barrier wedge, barrier constant head wedge and constant head constant head wedge are considered.
