An algorithm combining the numerical execution in time of implicit and explicit methods of solution is presented in this paper. The algorithm swaps between both methods as required for the analysis. The whole mesh is solved for an unique method at once, i.e. there are no partitions of the mesh for separate implicit or explicit treatment of the solution. The combination is in-time, in such a manner that if the implicit method starts diverging the explicit one is initiated by appropriate conditions of transition. The formulation is presented first and its implementation is validated by the analysis of a key numerical example. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
