APPLICATION OF THE ENERGY BALANCE METHOD FOR STRONGLY NONLINEAR OSCILLATORS

Abstract

In this paper,He's energy balance method is applied to nonlinear oscillators. We illustrate that the energy balance is very effective and convenient and does not require linearization or small perturbation. Contrary to the conventional methods,in energy balance,only one iteration leads to high accuracy of the solutions. It is predicted that the energy balance method can be found wide application in engineering problems.
