Nonlinear Oscillations : Exact Solutions and their Approximations (1st ed. 2020. 2021. x, 273 S. X, 273 p. 123 illus., 105 illus. in colo)

This book presents exact, closed-form solutions for the response of a variety of nonlinear oscillators (free, damped, forced). The solutions presented are expressed in terms of special functions. To help the reader understand these `non-standard' functions, detailed explanations and rich illustrations of their meanings and contents are provided. In addition, it is shown that these exact solutions in certain cases comprise the well-known approximate solutions for some nonlinear oscillations.
