Abstract
This paper applies He’s Energy balance method (EBM) to study periodic solutions of strongly nonlinear systems such as nonlinear vibrations and oscillations. The method is applied to two nonlinear differential equations. Some examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and convenience of the method. The results are compared with the exact solution and the comparison showed a proper accuracy of this method. The method can be easily extended to other nonlinear systems and can therefore be found widely applicable in engineering and other science.
