Mathematical solution for nonlinear vibration equations using variational approach
M. Bayat and I. Pakar

 
Abstract
    In this paper, we have applied a new class of approximate analytical methods called Variational Approach (VA) for high nonlinear vibration equations. Three examples have been introduced and discussed. The effects of important parameters on the response of the problems have been considered. Runge-Kutta\'s algorithm has been used to prepare numerical solutions. The results of variational approach are compared with energy balance method and numerical and exact solutions. It has been established that the method is an easy mathematical tool for solving conservative nonlinear problems. The method doesn\'t need small perturbation and with only one iteration achieve us to a high accurate solution.
