This paper is devoted to a long time behavior analysis associated with flow structure interactions at subsonic and supersonic velocities. It turns out that an intrinsic component of that analysis is the study of attracting sets corresponding to von Karman plate equations with delayed terms and without rotational terms. The presence of delay terms in the dynamical system leads to the loss of gradient structure while the absence of rotational terms in von Karman plates leads to the loss of compactness of the orbits. Both these features make the analysis of long time behavior rather subtle rendering the established tools in the theory of PDE dynamical systems not applicable. It is our goal to develop methodology that is capable of handling this class of problems.Key terms: nonlinear plate, PDE with delay, long-time behavior of solutions, dynamical systems, global attractors, flow-structure interaction, MSC 2010: 35L20, 74F10, 35Q74. known from experiment (and also confirmed by numerics), that the potential flow (particularly at the supersonic speeds) has the ability of inducing a certain amount of stability in the moving structure. This is the case even when the structure itself does not possess mechanical damping mechanisms. If one writes down the equations for the interactive system, along with the standard energy balance, this dissipative effect is not exhibited at all; quantities are conserved and not dissipated. Thus, there must be some "hidden" mechanism which produces this dissipation. It is our goal to shed some light on this phenomenon. As it turns out, the decoupling technique introduced in [5, 6], which reduces the analysis of full flow-structure interaction to that of a certain delayed plate model, allows us to observe certain stabilizing effects of the flow. These occur in the form of non-conservative forces acting upon the structure as the "downwash" of the flow. This idea was already applied to Berger plate models [7,17] in the proof of existence of attractors corresponding to the associated reduced plate problem with a delayed term.In fact, well-posedness and long-time behavior analyses of nonlinear plate PDEs with delays have been treated in [8] (see also [14]): first, in the case of the von Karman model with rotational inertia, and secondly, in [7,17], in the case of the Berger model with a small intensity of delayed term (this corresponds to a large speed U of the flow of gas -hypersonic). These expositions flesh out the existence and properties of global attractors for the general plate with delay in the presence of a 'natural' form of interior damping, and then apply this general result to the specific delayed (aeroelastic) force given in the full flow-plate coupling.It should be noted that the presence of rotational inertia parameter, while drastically improving the topological properties of the model, is neither natural nor desirable in the context of flow-structure interaction. First, the original model for flow structure interaction describes the interaction between the mid-surface of the pl...
