Meanings
- alternativeAlternative form of cross-wedge.
During the crosswedge rolling process, the empirical correlation of the coefficient of friction is expressed as μf=0.5 X exp(−δωr) [2.31] where the linear velocity is in.
2014, M.-K. Besharati-Givi, P. Asadi, Advances in Friction-Stir Welding and Processing, →ISBN, page 40 - A wedge that is driven crosswise.
The drawback to this design was the need for a crosswedge in the slide near the muzzle, for assembly and disassembly.

These are all the shoulders that will be necessary, unless when the reversing motion is used, and in that case, two more square or polygonal parts w w, must be formed for the external ratchet-wheels N and O to be fixed upon, and these wheels may be secured in their places by the washers x x, which may be screwed on, or, what is better, be made secure by crosswedge-keys driven through them, as shewn in the figure.
1821, The Repertory of Arts, Manufactures, and Agriculture, page 203He had trimmed the ends of the axle log into rough rounds, and once the wheels were in place split the ends and placed crosswedges in them.
1988, Elizabeth Moon, Divided Allegiance, →ISBN - natural sciencesA wedge-shaped waveform that moves in the cross direction to the current.
The test calculations are carried out for the crosswedge benchmark and proved an excellent agreement with the source images method.

For this asymptotic case we are considering, k - r \, and * - (54), is the distance from the apex multiplied by some constant factor Fig 4 shows that the crosswedge wavelength decreases as the wave approaches the apex.
1982, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Collected Reprints - Issue 2, page 867Thus analytical surface wave solutions are available to describe waves that are either progressive or trapped in the crosswedge direction.
