An explicit-implicit staggered time-integration procedure is presented for the solution of multibody dynamical equations involving large rotations and constraints. The algorithms adopts a two-stage modification of the central difference algorithm for integrating the translational coordinates and the angular velocity vector, and the midpoint implicit algorithm to solve the kinematical relation in terms of the Euler parameters for updating the angular orientations. The Lagrange multipliers to enforce the system constraints are obtained by implicitly integrating a parabolically regularized differential equation for the multipliers. The performance of the present procedure has been evaluated to applying the procedure to solve several sample problems. The results indicate that the procedure is robust in dealing with a variety of constraints and spatial kinematic motions, hence it is recommended for applications to general multibody dynamics analyses.
