Abstract
This paper presents a mixed algorithm for integration of equations of motion for structural systems having evolutionary type models for cyclic behavior of their constituent elements. The global equations of motion are integrated using Newmark's method while the internal resisting forces are calculated using an explicit, fourth order Runge-Kutta scheme with the option of using a time-step smaller than that used for Newmark's method. The algorithm also takes advantage of the spatially localized nonlinear nature of the problem, in the case where nonlinearity is concentrated in discrete parts of the structure. As a numerical example, earthquake-induced response of a three-story steel frame tested on an Earthquake Simulator, is presented.
