The asymptotic behaviours for small and large amplitudes, A, of the period for a nonlinear oscillator, where the square of the angular frequency depends quadratically on the velocity, are obtained. These asymptotic expressions are compared with the exact period, T(A),…

This paper deals with the non-linear oscillation of a simple pendulum and presents an approach for solving the non-linear differential equation that governs its movement by using the harmonic balance method. With this technique it is possible to easily obtain…

Two Lidstedt-Poincaré perturbation based methods are used to solve the nonlinear differential equation of a nonlinear oscillator having the square of the angular frequency depends quadratically on the velocity. Mickens published two interesting papers [1, 2] about this oscillator and…

The homotopy perturbation method is used to solve the nonlinear differential equation that governs the nonlinear oscillations of a simple pendulum, and an approximate expression for its period is obtained. Only one iteration leads to high accuracy of the solutions…
