Abstract

The unified Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolskii (KBM) method is used for determining theanalytical approximate solution of a fourth order weakly nonlinear differential system with strongdamping and slowly varying coefficients when a pair of eigen-values of the unperturbed equationis a multiple (approximately or perfectly) of the other pair or pairs. In a damped case, one of thenatural frequencies of the linearized equation may be a multiple of the other. The analytical firstorder approximate solution for different initial conditions shows a good coincidence with thoseobtained by the numerical procedure. The method is illustrated by an example.Key words: Perturbation method; Weak nonlinearity; Oscillatory process; Strong damping; Varying coefficientsDOI: 10.3329/jbas.v34i1.5493Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol.34, No.1, 71-82, 2010
