To improve the modeling accuracy for the finite element method, this paper proposes a method to make a combined use of finite elements and exact dynamic elements. Exact interpolation functions for a Timoshenko beam element are derived and compared with interpolation functions of the finite element method (FEM). The exact interpolation functions are tested with the Laplace variable varied. The exact interpolation functions are used to gain more accurate mode shape functions for the finite element method. This paper also presents a combined use of finite elements and exact dynamic elements in design problems. A Timoshenko frame with tapered sections is tested to demonstrate the design procedure with the proposed method.

Although the finite element method has become an indispensible tool for the dynamic analysis of structures, difficulty remains to quantify the errors associated with discretization. To improve the modeling accuracy, this paper proposes a method to make a combined use of finite elements and exact dynamic elements. Exact interpolation functions for the Timoshenko beam element are derived using the exact dynamic element modeling (EDEM) and compared with interpolation functions of the finite element method (FEM). The exact interpolation functions are tested with the Laplace variable varied. A combined use of finite element method and exact interpolation functions is presented to gain more accurate mode shape functions. This paper also presents a combined use of finite elements and exact dynamic elements in design/reanalysis problems. Timoshenko flames with tapered sections are tested to demonstrate the design procedure with the proposed method. The numerical study shows that the combined use of finite element model and exact dynamic element model is very useful.

This paper introduces modeling and its modal analysis procedure for exact and closed form solution of in-plane vibrations of general Timoshenko frame structures using exact dynamic element method(EDEM). The derivation procedure of the exact system dynamic matrices for Timoshenko beam frames is described. A new modal analysis procedure is also proposed since the conventional modal analysis schemes are not adequate for the proposed, exact system dynamic matrix. The proposed method provides exact modal parameters as well as all kinds of closed form solutions for general frame structures. Two numerical examples are presented for validating and illustrating the proposed method. The numerical study proves that the proposed method is useful for dynamic analysis of frame structures.

This paper presents a computational method that identifies an exact set of optimal overlap rates between critical activities to meet job site specific needs by using rework cost-slope. The procedures to compute the exact solution are provided in peudocode algorithm. The method is coded into Exact Concurrent Construction Scheduling system that allows practitioners to make more informed decision in accordance with the site-specific condition involved in the overlapping of critical activities. Test cases verify the validity of the computational method and the usability of the system.

An improved numerical method to obtain the exact element stiffness matrix is newly proposed to perform the spatially coupled elastic and stability analyses of non-symmetric thin-walled beam-columns with two-types of elastic foundation. This method overcomes drawbacks of the previous method to evaluate the exact stiffness matrix for the spatially coupled stability analysis of thin-walled beam-column. This numerical technique is firstly accomplished via a generalized eigenproblem associated with 14 displacement parameters by transforming equilibrium equations to a set of first order simultaneous ordinary differential equations. Then exact displacement functions are constructed by combining eigensolutions and polynomial solutions corresponding to non-zero and zero eigenvalues, respectively. Consequently an exact stiffness matrix is evaluated by applying the member force-deformation relationships to these displacement functions.

Recently, the necessity of efficient and exact method to analyze structures is increasing with the importance of the seismic analysis. But the finite element method used in many field do not give the exact solution unless the length of the element is very short enough to represent the deformation of the element. Because the amount of computer calculation increase with the increasing of the number of degree of freedoms, the finite element method for the exact dynamic analysis of structures would not be efficient. To solve these problems, spectral clement method combined spectral method using the principle of wave mechanics and finite element method for the analysis of discrete models is applied to evaluate the behavior of the spatial structures. As a result of analysis. it becomes clear that the spectral element method is faster and more exact than the finite clement method.

In the present article, we construct the exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear PDEs in the mathematical physics via the (1+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation by using the following two methods: (i) A further improved ($\frac{G}{G}$) - expansion method, where $G=G({\xi})$ satisfies the auxiliary ordinary differential equation $[G^{\prime}({\xi})]^2=aG^2({\xi})+bG^4({\xi})+cG^6({\xi})$, where ${\xi}=x-Vt$ while $a$, $b$, $c$ and $V$ are constants. (ii) The well known extended tanh-function method. We show that some of the exact solutions obtained by these two methods are equivalent. Note that the first method (i) has not been used by anyone before which gives more exact solutions than the second method (ii).

The present paper proposes a modal analysis procedure to obtain exact modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios, eigenvectors) for general, non-uniform beam-like structures. The proposed method includes a derivation of the system dynamic matrix for a Timoshenko beam element. The proposed method provides not only exact modal parameters but also exact frequency response functions (FRFs) for general beam structures. A time domain analysis method is also proposed. Two examples are provided for validating and illustrating the proposed method. The first numerical example compares the proposed method with FEM. The second example deals with a non-uniform beam structure supported in joints with damping property. The numerical study proves that the proposed method is useful for the dynamic analysis of continuous systems consisting of beam-like structures.

In this study, an exact transfer matrix expression for a twisted uniform beam considering the effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia is developed. The particular transfer matrix is derived by applying the distributed mass and transcendental function while using a local coordinate system. The results obtained from this method are independent for a number of subdivided elements, and this method can determine the required number of exact solutions for the free vibration characteristics of a twisted uniform Timoshenko beam using a single element. In addition, it can be used as a useful numerical method for the computation of high-order natural frequencies. To validate the accuracy of the proposed method, the computed results are compared with those reported in the existing literature, and the comparison results indicate notably good agreement. In addition, the method is used to investigate the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia for a twisted beam.

There are many techniques to calculate the exact position of deep seated tunnel. Especially, tomography method has been used generally in present days. This method has been performed mainly by wave traveltime. Because of short interval of two measuring boreholes, it was very hard to interpret the exact tunnel position. To solve this problem, seismic amplitude method was tried to detect exact pososition of tunnel in this study.
