Wave Propagation in Cylindrical Poroelastic Dry Bones

The wave propagation modeling in cylindrical human long dry bones with cavity is studied. The dynamic behavior of a dry long bones that has been modeled as a piezoelectric hollow cylinder of crystal class 6 is investigated. An analytic solutions for this mechanical wave propagation in a long dry bones have been obtained for the flexural vibrations. The frequency equation for poroelastic bones i...

New reals: Can live with them, can live without them

Judah and Shelah [3] proved that countable support iterations of proper forcings preserve the ω-bounding property (see 2.2 here). In his book Proper and Improper Forcing [8, XVIII §3] Shelah gave several cases of general preservation theorems for proper countable support iterations (the proofs tend to be hard to digest, though). In this paper we deal with “Case A”. A simplified version of this ...
