    Discrepancy in the solution of a nonlinear dynamic system

    Hi, Thanks for your reply. The Hamitonian H which I am writing is the restatement of the energybalance of the system. Since there is no damping, the inputted energy should be equal to the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy at any state of oscillation of the system...

    Discrepancy in the solution of a nonlinear dynamic system

    Hi, I am solving the following nonlinear dynamical system using Energy Balance Method (EBM*). My intention is to arrive at an approximate analytical expression for the frequency of oscillation and the excitation force. u''+u=A(1+2*u) with u(0)=u'(0)=0, where A is a constant (Physically it...

    How Do You Write a Hamiltonian Function for Specific Dynamical Systems?

    Hi, I need some help in writing the Hamiltonian function for the following dynamical systems. 1) u''+u=A (1+2*u+3*u^2) 2) u''+u=A/((1-u)^2); In both cases A is a constant and u is a function of t. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Manish

    How Can the Variational Iteration Method Solve This Differential Equation?

    Hi, A is a constant. I will also comment on the qualitative behavior of the system. for extremely small values of A, the system has oscillation frequency equal to 1, which is evident from the Differential Equation. As the value of A is increased oscillation frequency decreases At...

    How Can the Variational Iteration Method Solve This Differential Equation?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. The term omega, although not explicitly found in the differential equation. represents the frequency of oscillation. When A is zero, the RHS of the equation is zero and the frequency of oscillation is equal to 1, which indicates that the period is equal to 2*pi...

    How Can the Variational Iteration Method Solve This Differential Equation?

    Hi, I am trying to solve the following differential equation using the variational iteration method: u''+u=A/((1-u)^2) with initial conditions, u(0)=u'(0)=0. My ultimate aim is to obtain the relation between A and w (i.e. omega). A is a Heaviside step function i.e. A(t)=A*H(t)...
