On the Approximate Analytical Solution to Non-Linear Oscillation Systems

This study describes an analytical method to study two well-known systems of nonlinear oscillators. One of these systems deals with the strongly nonlinear vibrations of an elastically restrained beam with a lumped mass. The other is a Duffing equation with constant coefficients. A new implementation...

description This study describes an analytical method to study two well-known systems of nonlinear oscillators. One of these systems deals with the strongly nonlinear vibrations of an elastically restrained beam with a lumped mass. The other is a Duffing equation with constant coefficients. A new implementation of the Variational Approach (VA) is presented to obtain highly accurate analytical solutions to free vibration of conservative oscillators with inertia and static type cubic nonlinearities. In the end, numerical comparisons are conducted between the results obtained by the Variational Approach and numerical solution using Runge-Kutta's [RK] algorithm to illustrate the effectiveness and convenience of the proposed methods.
