The finite element method (FEM) is the most widely used technique for solution ofengineering problems. In classical finite element analysis (FEA) procedure, the exactgeometry generated in computer aided design software is regenerated to have an anal-ysis suitable model, then this model is used for solution. Isogeometric analysis (IGA)is a computational approach which eliminates the modification phase of the actualgeometry in FEA. Instead, IGA employs the same mathematical model which definesthe geometry in the computer graphics software for defining the solution field. One ofthe most general basis functions used for representing the geometry mathematically isNon-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS). NURBS are more comprehensive formof B-spline functions which are parametric piecewise polynomials. They allow flex-ible and accurate design, control of continuity with ease, and with its rational formenabling representation of conic sections which is not possible by using B-splines.The main advantage of isogeometric approach is to analyze the complex shaped partsby eliminating the error due to inaccurate representation of geometry in the finite el-ement method. In addition, since spline-based functions with higher continuity areused, better accuracy is acquired.v The aim of this thesis is, through the use of isogeometric plate elements, to analyzethe deformation, to determine the strain and stress distribution and to predict the firstply failure by using different failure criteria of laminated composite materials, andto present the applicability of IGA for anisotropic materials. For this purpose, anopen source code written for isotropic materials is modified to analyze laminatedcomposites and various failure criteria are embedded to the code. A number of caseswith various ply orientations and thicknesses, under different loading and boundaryconditions are analyzed and their results are compared with the results obtained bythe solutions of FEM.

Computation of multi-passage cascade flows with overset and deforming grids Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (null; 1997-12-01) An overset grid method is applied to the solution of single and multi-passage cascade flows with a compressible Navier-Stokes solver. C-type grids around individual blades are overset onto a Cartesian background grid. Overset grids are allowed to move in time relative to each other as prescribed by the oscillatory plunging motion. The overset grid method uses a simple, robust numerical algorithm to localize moving boundary points and to interpolate solution variables across intergrid boundaries. Computation...
Time-domain BEM solution of convection-diffusion-type MHD equations Bozkaya, N.; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2008-04-20) The two-dimensional convection-diffusion-type equations are solved by using the boundary element method (BEM) based on the time-dependent fundamental solution. The emphasis is given on the solution of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) duct flow problems with arbitrary wall conductivity. The boundary and time integrals in the BEM formulation are computed numerically assuming constant variations of the unknowns on both the boundary elements and the time intervals. Then, the solution is advanced to the steady-state it...
Exact Solutions of Effective-Mass Dirac-Pauli Equation with an Electromagnetic Field Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-01-01) The exact bound state solutions of the Dirac-Pauli equation are studied for an appropriate position-dependent mass function by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. For a central electric field having a shifted inverse linear term, all two kinds of solutions for bound states are obtained in closed forms.
Implementation of the equivalence principle algorithm for potential integral equations Farshkaran, Ali; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) In this thesis, a domain decomposition method based on the Huygens' principle for integral equations is studied. Step-by-step development of equivalence principle algorithm (EPA) is described for solving arbitrary shaped perfect electric conductor (PEC) and penetrable objects. The main advantage of EPA is its efficiency thanks to the enhanced conditioning hence accelerated iterative solutions of the matrix equations derived from discretizations. For further enhancing the efficiency, the multilevel fast mult...
Algebraic approaches to eigenvalue equations: The Wronskian method Yurtsever, Ersin (Elsevier BV, 1987-11) A recently proposed method for the solution of eigenvalue equations is applied to two different model potentials. Considerable improvements are observed if the algebraic requirements of the Wronskian method are enforced over a region instead of at a single point.
