In this paper, a new accurate predictor-corrector time integration method is proposed, which has an appropriate stability domain. The dispersion error of the suggested approach is considerably smaller than that of the central difference scheme. Moreover, the presented technique introduces effectively numerical damping, which can be used to remove the spurious high-frequency components from the numerical responses. The authors' approach has second-order accuracy for structures with and without damping. It is worth mentioning that the scheme solves the nonlinear problems without using iterative processes. The new algorithm is tested by using several linear and nonlinear numerical examples, and the outcomes are compared against the results of the central difference and explicit second-order Runge-Kutta schemes. The findings confirm the high accuracy and good performance of the suggested technique.
