Derived from an ancient Chinese algorithm, He’s frequency–amplitude formulation is an effective approach to finding an approximate solution of a nonlinear oscillator. In this article, based on He’s formulation, a simplified formulation is proposed. Some nonlinear oscillators are adopted as examples to demonstrate the solving process using this simplified formulation. Through the demonstration, it can be seen that the solving process is simplified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
