In this thesis, store separation from two different configurations are solved using computational methods. Two different commercially available CFD codes; CFD-FASTRAN, an implicit Euler solver, and an unsteady panel method solver USAERO, coupled with integral boundary layer solution procedure are used for the present computations. The computational trajectory results are validated against the available experimental data of a generic wing-pylon-store configuration at Mach 0.95. Major trends of the separation are captured. Same configuration is used for the comparison of unsteady panel method with Euler solution at Mach 0.3 and 0.6. Major trends are similar to each other while some differences in lateral and longitudinal displacements are observed. Trajectories of a fueltank separated from an F-16 fighter aircraft wing and full aircraft configurations are found at Mach 0.3 using only the unsteady panel code. The results indicate that the effect of fuselage is to decrease the drag and to increase the side forces acting on the separating fueltank from the aircraft. It is also observed that the yawing and rolling directions of the separating fueltank are reversed when it is separated from the full aircraft configuration when compared to the separation from the wing alone configuration.

Development of a closely coupled approach for solution of static and dynamic aeroelastic problems
Başkut, Erkut; Seber, Güçlü; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010)
In this thesis a fluid-structure coupling procedure which consists of a commercial flow solver, FLUENT, a finite element structural solver, MSC/NASTRAN, and the coupling interface between the two disciplines is developed in order to solve static and dynamic aeroelastic problems. The flow solver relies on inviscid Euler equations with finite volume discretization. In order to perform faster computations, multiple processors are parallelized. Closely coupled approach is used to solve the coupled field aeroela...
Fuzzy Hybrid Systems modeling with application in decision making and control
Boutalis, Yiannis; Moor, Thomas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-11-28)
Hybrid Systems are systems containing both discrete event and continuous variable components. Many recent contributions address crisp situations, where ambiguity or subjectivity in the measured data is absent. In this paper, we propose Fuzzy Hybrid Systems to account for inaccurate measurements and uncertain dynamics. We present a strategy to determine the most appropriate control actions in a sampled data setting. The proposed approach is based on three basic steps that are performed in each sampling perio...
Synchronization of linear oscillators coupled through a dynamic network with interior nodes
Tuna, Sezai Emre (Elsevier BV, 2020-07-01)
Synchronization is studied in an array of identical linear oscillators of arbitrary order, coupled through a dynamic network comprising dissipative connectors (e.g., dampers) and restorative connectors (e.g., springs). The coupling network is allowed to contain interior nodes, i.e., those that are not directly connected to an oscillator. It is shown that the oscillators asymptotically synchronize if and only if the Schur complement (with respect to the boundary nodes) of the complex-valued Laplacian matrix ...
Investigation of the effect of semi-geodesic winding on the vibration characteristics of filament wound shells of revolution
İbrahimoğlu, Can Serkan; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, the effect of semi-geodesic winding on the free vibration characteristics of filament wound composite shells of revolution with variable radii of curvature is studied. The analysis is performed by a semi-analytical solution method which is based on the numerical integration of the finite exponential Fourier transform of the fundamental shell of revolution equations. The governing equations for the free vibration analysis are initially obtained in terms of fundamental shell variables, and the...
Results on characterizations of plateaued functions in arbitrary characteristic
Mesnager, Sihem; Özbudak, Ferruh; Sınak, Ahmet (2016-01-01)
Bent and plateaued functions play a significant role in cryptography since they can have various desirable cryptographic properties. In this work, we first provide the characterizations of plateaued functions in terms of the moments of their Walsh transforms. Next, we generalize the characterizations of Boolean bent and plateaued functions in terms of their second-order derivatives to arbitrary characteristic. Moreover, we present a new characterization of plateaued functions in terms of fourth power moment...
