A kind of general explicit displacement algorithm is derived and threestep explicit displacement method with secondorder precision is obtained.The acceleration is approximated by central difference and the velocity is approximated by threepoint eccentric difference.Therefore,this method is also called centraleccentric difference method,which can be looked as an improved form of central difference method because it remians as an explicit method when the damp matrix is not diagonal. The stabilization of this method is analyzed and results show that this method is superior in costs of calculation time and storage space over the other similar explicit methods.
