The $S^1$-Eule characteristics of X is defined by $\bar{\chi}_{S^1}(X)\;{\in}\;HH_1(ZG)$, where G is the fundamental group of connected finite $S^1$-compact manifold or connected finite $S^1$-finite complex X and $HH_1$ is the first Hochsch ild homology group functor. The purpose of this paper is to find several cases which the $S^1$-Euler characteristic has a homotopic invariant.

Three dimentional unsteady Euler equations are solved and an integration method is presented to predict the dynamic stability derivatives of transonic missiles. Results for the Basic Finner model are compared with several experimental data to vaildate the prediction capability of the present method. The variations of dynamic stability derivatives are discussed with respect to angle of attack, Mach number, and rotation rate. Results show that shock waves between fins enhance the pitch-damping characteristics in transonic region. Results also imply that the Euler equations can give the damping coefficients with comparable accuracy.

A comprehensive study has been made for the investigation of the convergence and stability characteristics of the LU scheme for solving the Euler equations on unstructured meshes. The von Neumann stability analysis technique was initially applied to a scalar model equation, and then the analysis was extended to the Euler equations. The results indicated that the convergence rate is governed by a specific combination of flow parameters. Based on this insight, it was shown that the LU scheme does not suffer any convergence deterioration at all grid aspect ratios, as long as the local time step is defined using an appropriate parameter combination.

The dams are huge structures storing a large amount of water and failures of them cause especially irreparable loss of lives during the earthquakes. They are named as a group of structures subjected to fluid-structure interaction. So, the response of the fluid and its hydrodynamic pressures on the dam should be reflected more accurately in the structural analyses to determine the real behavior as soon as possible. Different mathematical and analytical modelling approaches can be used to calculate the water hydrodynamic pressure effect on the dam body. In this paper, it is aimed to determine the dynamic response of concrete gravity dams using different water modelling approaches such as Westergaard, Lagrange and Euler. For this purpose, Sariyar concrete gravity dam located on the Sakarya River, which is 120km to the northeast of Ankara, is selected as a case study. Firstly, the main principals and basic formulation of all approaches are given. After, the finite element models of the dam are constituted considering dam-reservoir-foundation interaction using ANSYS software. To determine the structural response of the dam, the linear transient analyses are performed using 1992 Erzincan earthquake ground motion record. In the analyses, element matrices are computed using the Gauss numerical integration technique. The Newmark method is used in the solution of the equation of motions. Rayleigh damping is considered. At the end of the analyses, dynamic characteristics, maximum displacements, maximum-minimum principal stresses and maximum-minimum principal strains are attained and compared with each other for Westergaard, Lagrange and Euler approaches.

In this study, preconditioned adjoint equations for the quasi one-dimensional Euler equations are developed, and their computational benefit at all speed is assessed numerically. The preconditioned adjoint equations are derived without any assumptions on the preconditioning matrix. The dissipation for Roe type numerical flux is also suggested to scale the dissipation term properly at low Mach numbers as well as at high Mach numbers. The new preconditioned method is validated against analytical solutions. The convergence characteristics over wide range of Mach numbers is evaluated. Finally, several inverse designs for the nozzle are conducted and the applicability of the method is demonstrated.

In this study, the Differential Transform Method (DTM) is employed in order to solve the governing differential equation of a moving Bernoulli-Euler beam with axial force effect and investigate its free flexural vibration characteristics. The free vibration analysis of a moving Bernoulli-Euler beam using DTM has not been investigated by any of the studies in open literature so far. At first, the terms are found directly from the analytical solution of the differential equation that describes the deformations of the cross-section according to Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. After the analytical solution, an efficient and easy mathematical technique called DTM is used to solve the differential equation of the motion. The calculated natural frequencies of the moving beams with various combinations of boundary conditions using DTM are tabulated in several tables and are compared with the results of the analytical solution where a very good agreement is observed.

An experimental and numerical study of aerodynamic charateristics of KSR-III and jet impingement on a deflector during launch has been conducted. To investigate aerodynamic characteristics of KSR-III configuration, wind tunnel tests using 6.4% scale model were performed by 4x4 feet ADD trisonic wind tunnel on the Mach number range of 0.4~3.8. Solutions of Three dimensional Euler equations were also obtained and compared with test result. For the study of KSR-III jet impingement flowfield on a deflector during launch operation, unsteady computation using CFD-FASTRAN was performed.

In this paper, the natural frequency and damping ratio are analyzed with the acceleration signal of an Euler-Bernoulli beam using the impact hammer test. The results are presented according to crack depth and position using the recursive least squares method. The results are compared and investigated with FEM analysis of CATIA. Both methods agree well with each other regarding the natural mode characteristics. The captured acceleration can be used for the calculation of the natural frequency and damping ratio using time series methods that are based on the measured acceleration. Using these data, a recursive time series model with the acceleration signal was configured and the behaviors of the natural frequency and damping ratio were investigated and analyzed. Finally, the results can be used for the prediction of crack position and depth under different crack conditions for an Euler-Bernoulli beam.

Various transition elements are generally used for the effective analysis of a complicated mechanical structure. In this paper, a solid-to-beam transition finite element which connects a continuum element and a $c^1-continuity$ beam element each other is proposed. The shape functions of the transition finite elements, which a 8-noded hexahedral solid element fur 3D analysis and a 4-noded quadrilateral plane element fur 2D analysis are connected to a Euler's beam element, are explicitely formulated. In order to show the effectiveness and convergence characteristics of the proposed transition elements. numerical tests are performed for various examples and their results are compared with those obtained by other methods. As the result of this study. following conclusions are obtained: (1)The proposed transition finite elements show the monotonic convergence characteristics because of having used the compatible displacement folds. (2)As being used the transition element in the finite element analysis, the finite element modelings are more convenient and the analysis results are more accurate because of the formulation characteristies of the Euler's beam element.

The spectral element model is known to provide very accurate structural dynamic characteristics, while reducing the number of degree-of-freedom to resolve the computational and cost problems. Thus, the spectral element model for an axially moving Bernoulli-Euler beam subjected to axial tension is developed in the present paper. The high accuracy of the spectral element model is then verified by comparing its solutions with the conventional finite element solutions and exact analytical solutions. The effects of the moving speed and axial tension on the vibration characteristics, wave characteristics, and the static and dynamic stabilities of a moving beam are investigated.
