Abstract

We focus on a simple implicit time integration scheme for the transient response solution of structures when large deformations and long time durations are considered. Our aim is to have a practical method of implicit time integration for analyses in which the widely used Newmark time integration procedure is not conserving energy and momentum, and is unstable. The method of time integration discussed in this paper is performing well and is a good candidate for practical analyses.
