“…In addition to keep fractional properties of fractional oscillators with its equivalences, for instance, the characteristic roots of a fractional oscillator being infinitely large as explained by Li et al [18] and Duan et al [39], based on the proposed equivalent oscillators, we also reveal other properties of fractional oscillators, which may be very difficult, if not impossible, to be described directly from the point of view of fractional differential equations, such as the equivalent, i.e., intrinsic, masses m eqj , equivalent dampings c eqj , equivalent natural frequencies ω eqn,j and ω eqd,j (j = 1, 2, 3) of fractional oscillators, which are nonlinear with the power laws in terms of oscillation frequency ω as stated in Sections 4 and 5.…”
