Superatomic Boolean algebras constructed from strongly unbounded functions

Using Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that κ, λ are infinite cardinals such that κ^{++ +} ≤ λ, κ^<κ = κ and 2^κ = κ⁺, and η is an ordinal with κ⁺ ≤ η < κ⁺⁺ and cf(η) = κ⁺. Then, in some cardinal‐preserving generic extension there is a superatomic Boolean algebra $\mathcal BUsing Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that κ, λ are infinite cardinals such that κ^{++ +} ≤ λ, κ^<κ = κ and 2^κ = κ⁺, and η is an ordinal with κ⁺ ≤ η < κ⁺⁺ and cf(η) = κ⁺. Then, in some cardinal‐preserving generic extension there is a superatomic Boolean algebra $\mathcal B$ such that $\mathrm{ht}(\mathcal B) = \eta + 1$, $\mathrm{wd}_{\alpha }(\mathcal B) = \kappa$ for every α < η and $\mathrm{wd}_{\eta }(\mathcal B) = \lambda$(i.e., there is a locally compact scattered space with cardinal sequence 〈κ〉_η^??〈λ〉). Especially, $\langle {\omega }\rangle _{{\omega }_1}{}^{\smallfrown } \langle {\omega }_3\rangle$ and $\langle {\omega }_1\rangle _{{\omega }_2}{}^{\smallfrown } \langle {\omega }_4\rangle$ can be cardinal sequences of superatomic Boolean algebras.     

Transient vibration of thin viscoelastic orthotropic plates

This article deals with solutions of transient vibration of a rectangular viscoelastic orthotropic thin 2D plate for particular deformation models according to Flu¨gge and Timoshenko-Mindlin.The linear model,a general standard viscoelastic body,of the rheologic properties of a viscoelastic material was applied.The time and coordinate curves of the basic quantities displacement,rotation,velocity,stress and deformation are compared.The results obtained by an approximate analytic method are compared with numerical results for 3D plate generated by FEM application and with experimental investigation.
