The discharge coefficient in segmental wedge having ninety degrees vertex angle for the five kinds of opening ratio with differential pressure taps located at both upstream and downstream of one diameter of pipe was measured main purpose of this work is placed on developing the proper form of an equation for the discharge coefficient of a segmental wedge used as a primary element of flow metering devices, and from thata six-term equation which can express the variability of opening ratios was developed. The same assumption and hypotheses were used and tested for all procedures as conventional differential producers; however, the range of the opening ratio over this work is more expanded than previous studies. The opening ratios of segmental wedge, namely 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 were investigated the Reynolds number based on the spool inside diameter ranges from 12,000 to 380,000, the resulting equation for the discharge coefficient is relatively simple; it contains only one variable-opening ratio because the characteristic of discharge coefficient of segmental wedge has little connection with the Reynolds number as shown by previous studies.

Cross wedge rolling process is utilized to manufacture multi-stepped axis symmetrical parts. This process is generally performed under high temperature conditions in order to induce serious deformation. But cold cross wedge rolling process has been rarely studied due to the limits of deformation. Recently, the cold cross wedge rolling process has been utilized to enhance the material strength in specified parts of manufactured products. In this paper, experimental researches were carried out with various forming conditions of cold cross wedge rolling process in order to suggest the design guidance to make preform for cold cross wedge rolling. The tensile strength and the surface hardness of specified region were compared to that of initial material with the variation of the area reduction and the rotational speed of rolling die. With respect to the area reduction, the maximum tensile strength was linearly increased and the surface hardness was rapidly increased within lower percent of area reduction. The surface hardness was saturated over the rotational die speed of 0.8 RPM.

Results of two-part wedge analysis and centrifuge test executed by Zornberg et al. were compared for geotextile-reinforced slope stability. For two-part wedge analysis results of two cases, a frictional case considering internal friction of soil as interwedge friction and a nonfrictional case not considering, were also compared and evaluated. The analysis was based on limit equilibrium and two-part wedge was divided into slices as many as the number of geotextiles to obtain a maximum tension distribution mobilized in reinforcements. A significant observation was that the distribution was a triangular shape with maximum tension of geotextile at a transit point of interwedge. The number of geotextiles and failure surface of frictional case were reasonable and more comparable to results of the centrifuge tests than those of nonfrictional case. Therefore it can be said that two-part wedge analysis is recommendable for design analysis of reinforced slopes if an interwedge angle is regarded to be an angle of internal friction in soil.

This study examined the maximum resistant moment and nonlinear rotational stiffness of wedge joint between the vertical and horizontal members of system supports. To examine the maximum resistant moment and propose the nonlinear rotation stiffness of wedge joint, 6 specimens were tested and additional 3 specimens, where the horizontal member was welded to the vertical member, were tested to compare the moment capacity of wedge joints. The average maximum moment in the tested wedge joint was 1.183 kNm which represented about 70 % of the maximum moment developed in the welded specimens. And, as simulating nonlinear rotational stiffness of the wedge joint, a tri-linear model was suggested. The rotational stiffness was estimated as 23.095 kNm/rad in first stage, 7.945 kNm/rad in second stage, and 3.073 kNm/rad in third stage. For the failure mode, the specimen with the wedge joint showed the failure of joint between vertical and horizontal members. However, the specimen with welded joint represented the yielding of horizontal members.

High frequency scattered fields by a double impedence wedge are computed. In the procedure of the computation, arbitrary impedence faces and wedge angles are considered. The diffraction coefficients for the single, double and triple diffraction mechanism are founded. The second-order and third-order diffracted fields are approximated via the extended spectral ray method and the modified Pauli-Clemmow method of the steepest descent. The maliuzhinets function which is very difficult to obtain accurate value is approximated by the Volakis's asymtotic expression. Numerical computations are performed for the various wedge angles and surface impedence values.

The electromagnetic wave scattered by an arbitrary-angled dielectric wedge is constructed by physical optics solution and its corrected field. Two models of correction source are obtained; one is multipole line source at tip of wedge and the other is correction electric and magnetic currents distributed along the interfaces of dielectric wedge. Calculated far-field patterns are presented and compared each other.

We introduce a concept of fuzzy linearity: A function $F:L^0(X){\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}$ is fuzzy linear if $F[({\alpha}{\wedge}f){\vee}(b{\wedge}g)]=[a{\wedge}F(f)]{\vee}[b{\wedge}F(g)]$ for $f,g{\in}L^0(X)$ and a, b > 0. We show that a fuzzy integral is fuzzy linear if the measure is fuzzy c-additive.

The phusical optics approximation to an E-polarized diffraction by a composite wedge provides its diffraction coefficients in terms of finite series of cotangent functions. In this paper, its diffraction coefficients inside the dielectric part are extended to become the exact solution to the perfectly conducting wedge as its relative dielectric constant increases to infinite or decreases to 1. It is assured that the extended diffraction coefficients satisfy the boundary condition at th econducting interface and become zero in the artificially complementary region of the composite wedge.

Purpose: To evaluate the contralateral breast dose using a virtual wedge compared with that using a Physical wedge and an open beam in a Siemens linear accelerator. Materials and Methods: The contralateral breast dose was measured using diodes placed on a humanoid phantom. Diodes were placed at 5.5 cm (position 1), 9.5 cm (position 2), and 14 cm (position 3) along the medial-lateral line from the medial edge of the treatment field. A 6-MV photon beam was used with tangential irradiation technique at 50 and 230 degrees of gantry angle. Asymmetrically collimated $17{\times}10cm$ field was used. for the first set of experiment, four treatment set-ups were used, which were an open medial beam with a 30-degree wedged lateral beam (physical and virtual wedges, respectively) and a 15-degree wedged medial beam with a 15-degree wedged lateral beam (physical and virtual wedges, respectively). The second set of experiment consists of setting with medial beam without wedge, a 15-degree wedge, and a 50-degree wedge (physical and virtual wedges, respectively). Identical monitor units were delivered. Each set of experiment was repeated for three times. Results: In the first set of experiment, the contralateral breast dose was the highest at the position 1 and decreased in order of the position 2 and 3. The contralateral breast dose was reduced with open beam on the medial side ($2.70{\pm}1.46%$) compared to medial beam with a wedge (both physical and virtual) ($3.25{\pm}1.59%$). The differences were larger with a physical wedge ($0.99{\pm}0.18%$) than a virtual wedge ($0.10{\pm}0.01%$) at all positions. The use of a virtual wedge reduced the contralateral breast dose by 0.12% to 1.20% of the proscribed dose compared to a physical wedge with same technique. In the second experiment, the contralateral breast dose decreased in order of the open beam, the virtual wedge, and the physical wedge at the position 1, and it decreased in order of a physical wedge, an open beam, and a virtual wedge at the position 2 and 3. Conclusion: The virtual wedge equipped in a Siemens linear accelerator was found to be useful in reducing dose to the contralateral breast. Our additional finding was that the surface dose distribution from the Siemens accelerator was different from a Varian accelerator.

In this study, field pull-out tests were performed for steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge and non-wedge type steel pipe nailing under the same test conditions. This is to evaluate pull-out resistance improvement effect of steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge. Evaluating for field pull-out characteristics of steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge was performed through analysis of ultimate pull-out resistance ($T_L$), ultimate unit skin friction ($q_s$, $u_{max}$), tensile normal stiffness ($K_{\beta}$), tension of nail. As a result, the steel pipe nailing installed foldable wedge have an effect of pull-out resistance increased about 30% in comparison with non-wedge type steel pipe nailing.
