Equivalent Mathematical Representation of Second-Order Damped, Driven Nonlinear Oscillators

The aim of this paper focuses on applying a nonlinearization method to transform forced, damped nonlinear equations of motion of oscillatory systems into the well-known forced, damped Duffing equation. The accuracy obtained from the derived equivalent equations of motion is evaluated by studying the...
