Algorithm 1

Flowchart for explicit time integration.
Initial conditions and initialization: ; ; ;
Update quantities: ; ; ;
Compute the time-step and update current time:
Update nodal displacements:
Compute internal and external force vector ,
Integrate the conservative equations and compute accelerations:
Update nodal velocities:
Enforce essential boundary conditions: if node on
Output; if simulation not complete go to .
