Abstract

In this letter,an application of energy balance method is applied to solve the nonlinear oscillators with uⁿ force. Comparison is made between the modification of harmonic balance method and energy balance method. The results reveal that the energy balance method is very effective and simple. Energy balance method is very effective and convenient and quite accurate to both linear and nonlinear physics and engineering problems.
