Abstract: | Explicit and implicit time integration schemes are discussed in the context of sensitivity analysis of dynamic problems. The
application of the fully explicit central difference method (CDM) proves to be efficient for many nonlinear problems. In the
case of the corresponding dynamic sensitivity problem the CDM is less advantageous both from efficiency and accuracy points
of view. Approximate sensitivity expressions are derived in the paper for nonlinear path-dependent problems allowing the application
of an unconditionally stable implicit time integration scheme with the time step much larger than the time step of the explicit
CDM scheme of the direct problem. The method seems to be particularly suitable for problems of quasi-static nature in which
the dynamic terms are artificially introduced to allow explicit CDM solution of highly nonlinear equations.
