An accurate novel method for solving nonlinear mechanical systems

Mahdi Bayat, Iman Pakar and Mahmoud Bayat

Abstract

This paper attempts to investigate the nonlinear dynamic analysis of strong nonlinear problems by proposing a new analytical method called Hamiltonian Approach (HA). Two different cases are studied to show the accuracy and efficiency of the method. This approach prepares us to obtain the nonlinear frequency of the nonlinear systems with the first order of the solution with a high accuracy. Finally, to verify the results we present some comparisons between the results of Hamiltonian approach and numerical solutions using Runge-Kutta\'s [RK] algorithm. This approach has a powerful concept and the high accuracy, so it can be apply to any conservative nonlinear problems without any limitations.
