The Bathe algorithm is superior to the trapezoidal rule in solving nonlinear problems involving large deformations and long-time durations. Generally, the parameter gamma = 2 - root 2 is highly recommended due to its optimal numerical properties. This paper further studies this implicit composite sub-step algorithm and thus presents a class of the Bathe-like algorithm. It not only gives a novel family of composite algorithms whose numerical properties are the exactly same as the original Bathe algorithm with gamma = 2 - root 2. but also provides the generalized alternative to the original Bathe algorithm with any gamma. In this study, it has been shown that the Bathe-like algorithm, including the original Bathe algorithm, can reduce to two common single-step algorithms: the trapezoidal rule and the backward Euler formula. Besides, a new parameter called the algorithmic mode truncation factor is firstly defined to describe the numerical property of the Bathe-like algorithm and it can estimate which modes to be damped out. Finally, numerical experiments are provided to show the superiority of the Bathe-like algorithm over some existing methods. For example, the novel Bathe-like algorithms are superior to the original Bathe algorithm when solving the highly nonlinear pendulum. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
