Improved accuracy of He’s energy balance method for analysis of conservative nonlinear oscillator

A new approach for solving boundary and initial value problems by coupling the he method and Sawi transform

This paper discusses and implements a newly developed technique using the He method with Sawi Transform. The main aim is to solve some initial and boundary problems. This combination exhibits an accurate strategy to obtain a precise solution for linear and nonlinear problems. To validate the proposed Hybrid method, a 4- examples are discussed, these including: Burger’s equation, telegraph equation, Kelin-Gordan equation, Duffing oscillator with cubic nonlinear term. The obtained results improve the exactness and the accuracy of the proposed combinations, and the proposed method is capable to solve a large number of linear and nonlinear initial and boundary value problems.

Approximating the Density of Random Differential Equations with Weak Nonlinearities via Perturbation Techniques

We combine the stochastic perturbation method with the maximum entropy principle to construct approximations of the first probability density function of the steady-state solution of a class of nonlinear oscillators subject to small perturbations in the nonlinear term and driven by a stochastic excitation. The nonlinearity depends both upon position and velocity, and the excitation is given by a stationary Gaussian stochastic process with certain additional properties. Furthermore, we approximate higher-order moments, the variance, and the correlation functions of the solution. The theoretical findings are illustrated via some numerical experiments that confirm that our approximations are reliable.

Periodic Solution of the Strongly Nonlinear Asymmetry System with the Dynamic Frequency Method

In this article, we present a new accurate iterative and asymptotic method to construct analytical periodic solutions for a strongly nonlinear system, even if it is not Z2-symmetric. This method is applicable not only to a conservative system but also to a non-conservative system with a limit cycle response. Distinct from the general harmonic balance method, it depends on balancing a few trigonometric terms (at most five terms) in the energy equation of the nonlinear system. According to this iterative approach, the dynamic frequency is a trigonometric function that varies with time t, which represents the influence of derivatives of the higher harmonic terms in a compact form and leads to a significant reduction of calculation workload. Two examples were solved and numerical solutions are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and convenience of the method. Based on the present method, we also outline a modified energy balance method to further simplify the procedure of higher order computation. Finally, a nonlinear strength index is introduced to automatically identify the strength of nonlinearity and classify the suitable strategies.

An analytical coupled technique for solving nonlinear large-amplitude oscillation of a conservative system with inertia and static non-linearity

Based on a new trial function, an analytical coupled technique (a combination of homotopy perturbation method and variational method) is presented to obtain the approximate frequencies and the corresponding periodic solutions of the free vibration of a conservative oscillator having inertia and static non-linearities. In some of the previous articles, the first and second-order approximations have been determined by the same method of such nonlinear oscillator, but the trial functions have not been satisfied the initial conditions. It seemed to be a big shortcoming of those articles. The new trial function of this paper overcomes aforementioned limitation. The first-order approximation is mainly considered in this paper. The main advantage of this present paper is, the first-order approximation gives better result than other existing second-order harmonic balance methods. The present method is valid for large amplitudes of oscillation. The absolute relative error measures (first-order approximate frequency) in this paper is 0.00 % for large amplitude A = 1000, while the relative error gives two different second-order harmonic balance methods: 10.33 and 3.72 %. Thus the present method is suitable for solving the above-mentioned nonlinear oscillator.
