Abstract
Two families of higher-order accurate time integration algorithms are numerically tested by using various nonlinear problems of structural dynamics, and the numerical results obtained from them are compared. To be specific, the higher-order algorithms of Kim and Reddy and the higher-order algorithms of Fung are used for this study. In linear analyses, these two different families of higher-order algorithms do not present noticeable differences. However, performances of these algorithms are quite different when they are applied to various nonlinear dynamic problems. For the numerical tests, well-known nonlinear problems are selected from the past studies. For the completeness, the two families of algorithms are briefly reviewed, and their advantageous computational structures are also explained.
