"wedge effect" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used to describe an imbalance in an environment or system, with an example sentence being: "The wedge effect caused by high-income households and low-income households created an economic divide in the city."
Pore pressure increase and water wedge effect can cause two kinds of shear dilation which are prior to tensile failure.
Our objective was to determine the wedge effect by debonding and stem taper angle on the structural behavior of axisymmetric stem cement bone cylinder models.
It is strongly suggested that fatigue degradation in C/C composites is promoted by a combination of stress corrosion and crack propagation promoted by a wedge effect.
It is found that the compressive failure of composite laminates including the wedge effect can be approximated accurately with this method using a vertical crack plane.
Special care was dedicated to avoid second molar extrusion during the distal movement to prevent the undesirable wedge effect, which potentially increases facial height.
The missing wedge effect leads to distortions of the density maps in real spaces.
As a result our data contains a wedge-shaped region in Fourier space for which no data has been measured (missing wedge effects), similar to experimental measurements.
We test our approach on realistically simulated cryo electron tomograms including low resolution, high levels of noise and distortions due to missing wedge effects and electron optical factors.
It is hypothesized that by increasing the triangular effect on a texture shape, the converging micro-wedge effect is expected to increase, hence increasing the film pressure and reducing the friction.
Prediction is based on de Larrard linear packing theory expanded by third parameter including wedging effect of particles to the form of 3-parameter packing model.
The increased crack growth rate during cyclic loading is attributed to a wedging effect within the crack wake causing an increase in the tensile stress and resultant increased micro-cracking ahead of the crack tip.
