      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.
  2. A wedge that is driven crosswise.
    • 1821, The Repertory of Arts, Manufactures, and Agriculture, page 203:
      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.
    • 1988, Elizabeth Moon, Divided Allegiance, →ISBN:
      He 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.

  3. (physics) A wedge-shaped waveform that moves in the cross direction to the current.
    • 1982, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Collected Reprints - Issue 2, page 867:
      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.
    • 2012, A. R. Robinson, Eddies in Marine Science, →ISBN:
      Thus analytical surface wave solutions are available to describe waves that are either progressive or trapped in the crosswedge direction.
    • 2015, M.Yu. Trofimov, A.D. Zakharenko, S.B. Kozitskiy, “Mode Gaussian beam tracing”, in arXiv:
      The test calculations are carried out for the crosswedge benchmark and proved an excellent agreement with the source images method.
