Precise asymptotic behavior of solutions to damped simple pendulum equations

We consider the simple pendulum equation $$displaylines{ -u''(t) + epsilon f(u'(t)) = lambdasin u(t), quad t in I:=(-1, 1),cr u(t) > 0, quad t in I, quad u(pm 1) = 0, }$$ where $0 < epsilon le 1$, $lambda > 0$, and the friction term is either $f(y) = pm|y|$ or $f(y)...
