Energy Method to Obtain Approximate Solutions of Strongly Nonlinear Oscillators

We introduce a nonlinearization procedure that replaces the system potential energy by an equivalent representation form that is used to derive analytical solutions of strongly nonlinear conservative oscillators. We illustrate the applicability of this method by finding the approximate solutions of...
