Abstract |
|
|
| In this paper, the periodic solutions of a strongly quadratic nonlinear oscillator whose motion is described with the
generalized Van der Pol equation are studied. A new method based on homotopy and averaging is employed to determine the limit
cycle motion. Three types of quadratic nonlinearity are considered: the coefficients of the linear and quadratic terms are positive, the
coefficient of the linear term is positive and that of the quadratic term is negative and the opposite case. Comparison with the numerical
solutions is also presented, revealing that the present method leads to accurate solutions. |
