A large bunch of the mechanical systems are involved with nonlinear governing equa- tion of motion which solving these equations is an important issue for the sake of their non- linear behavior [1-3]. Transverse vibrations of a beam with large amplitude and implementa- tion of nonlinear springs in a mechanical system are two examples which can be derived as a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Recently, many different methods have been de- veloped to obtain the approximate solutions of such problems. Some of them are: harmonic balance method [4-6], energy balance method [7, 8], Hamiltonian approach [9], He’s ampli- tude–frequency formulation [10] and variational iteration method [11]. In these methods, unlike the classical perturbation method, the presence of small parameter is not required. Duffing equation is a well-known nonlinear differential equation which is composed of third and fifth orders of nonlinearities. Many applications of this equation can be found in some engineering systems such as free vibrations of a restrained uniform beam including a lumped mass in its middle region [12], the nonlinear dynamics of slender elastic, and the Pochhammer– Chree (PC) equation [13, 14]. A combination of homotopy analysis method and Pade technique was employed by Pirbodaghi et al. [15] to obtain the analytical approximate solution of the cubic-quintic Duffing equation. Ganji et al. [8] considered different parameters and applied energy bal- ance technique on the approximate frequencies of the mentioned equation. In another re- search, Newton’s method and harmonic balance technique were coupled by Lai et al. [16] for solving higher-order approximations of Duffing oscillators with cubic-quintic nonlinear restoring force. They showed that their results are valid for both small and large amplitudes. 114 Also, Khan et al. [14] used coupled homotopy and variational formulation to analyze the aforementioned oscillator. They obtained the first four approximate formulas and concluded that the proposed method observe a good agreement with the exact solution. Moreover, Zun- iga [17] employed the Jacobi elliptic functions for the Duffing oscillator and showed that the exact frequency of the system is including the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. In the current paper, an approach is employed to solve and obtain the analytical ap- proximate solutions of the cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator. This method has a main differ- ence with other traditional harmonic balance methods such that all the errors obtained in the previous approximation are used in the present one. Moreover, to obtain the unknown con- stants we are dealing with only a set of linear equations which can be easily solved. The comparison that will be done between the presented method, exact solution, coupled ho- motopy-variational formulation as well as He’s energy balance method, will confirm the ability and high precision of this method. 2. Description of the problem. Duffing oscillator with the cubic and quintic terms of nonlinearity is a conservative sys- tem and can be defined with the following second-order differential equation [8, 12, 17] 3 5 1 2 3 0,x x xx       (1) where, the double dots superscript represents the second differential respect to time (t). The coefficients 1 , 2 and 3 are supposed to get different values. For the case with 1 0  and 2 3 0   , Eq. (1) represents the simple harmonic vibration of an oscillator with the frequency of 1 . If 2 0  and 3 0  , Eq. (1) can be related to Duffing equation with only cubic term of nonlinearity. On the other hand, the quintic Duffing equation is con- structed by considering 2 0  and 3 0  . For the other cases, Eq. (1) is named as cubic- quintic Duffing equation where 2 and 3 are not equal to zero. The initial conditions for Eq. (1) are considered as:     ˙ 0 ; 0 0. dx x A x dt    (2) 3. Basic idea of the proposed iterative approach. To illustrate how the method works, it is considered that the governing differential equation of system is as follows:      ; 0 ; 0 0,u f u u A u    (3) where u is the second differentiation respects to t. It is assumed that ( )f u is an odd func- tion. Introducing an independent variable t  , Eq. (3) can be rewritten as below:      2 ; 0 ; 0 0,u f u u A u     (4) where ''u is the second differentiation respect to  . Also,  is the frequency of system in which should be determined. The solution of Eq. (4) is assumed to be periodic and the sim- plest form of it that would satisfy the initial conditions is given by the following: 2 2 0 0( ) cos( ) .;u A     (5) Substituting Eq. (5) into Eq. (4) and then setting up the coefficient of cos( ) as zero, the parameter 0 can be determined. Hence, the zero-order approximation of Eq. (3) is as follows:  0 0( ) cosu A t  (6) 115 Eq. (1) is a nonlinear problem and therefore the above solution is not the exact one. Hence, substituting Eq. (6) into Eq. (4), the error for the zero-order approximation derives as: 2 0 0 0 0( ) ( )R u f u    . (7) The above error is kept to be used in the next order of approximation. To obtain the first-order approximation, the following assumption is supposed: 2 2 0 1 0 1( ) ( ) ); .(u u pu p         (8) 1( ) (cos ( ) cos(3 )).u B    (9) The coefficient p is the order parameter and takes the values in interval [0,1]. In addi- tion, 1 and B are two unknown constants that will be determined later. In this time, Eq. (8) is substituted into Eq. (4) and then from the governing equation, the coefficients of p are considered as 1 1( , , )F B  . Now, the following relation is considered: 1 1 0, , )( ( ) 0.F B R    (10) Eq. (10) means that in the current method, unlike other traditional harmonic balance methods, the error obtained in the previous step is considered in the present step to increase the accuracy of solution. Equating the coefficients of cos( ) and cos(3 ) to zero in Eq. (10), two linear equations composed of the unknown constants 1 and B can be achieved. Once the aforementioned constant parameters are obtained, the first-order approximation is written as:     2 2 (1) 0 11 1( ) ( ) cos ( ) cos ( ); ; .u A B B             (11) Substituting Eq. (11) into Eq. (4), the error for the first-order approximation becomes as:   2 1 (1) (1) 1( ) ( ).R u f u    (12) Similarly, the above error is kept to be used in the next step. In the following, to obtain the second-order approximation, it is assumed as: 2 2 (1) 2 (1) 2( ) ( ) ( ;);u u pu p         (13) 2 ( ) (cos( ) cos(3 )) ( ) cos(5 ));u C D        (14) where 2 , C and D are three unknown constants which should be determined. Similar to the previous step, Eq. (13) is substituted into Eq. (4) and then the coefficients of p are consid- ered as 2 2( , , , ).F C D  Here, in order to increase the accuracy of the second-order approx- imation, the error 1( )R  obtained in Eq. (12) is added to 2F and consequently a new equa- tion is obtained as follows: 2 2 1, , , .( ) ( ) 0F C D R    (15) Equating the coefficients of cos ( ), cos (3 ) and cos (5 ) to zero in Eq. (15), three linear equations including the unknown constant parameters 2 , C and D can be achieved. As the aforementioned constants are obtained, the second-order approximation is written as 116  2 ( ) ( ) cos( ) ( ) cos(3 ) cos(5 ),u A B C D B C D          (16) where, 2 2 (2) (2) (1) 2; .t       (17) Similar to the above steps, the higher-order approximations can also be derived. It should be noted that using Eqs. (10) and (15) in the process of solving nonlinear oscillator is the main difference between the current method and other classical harmonic balance tech- niques. Moreover, these equations (i.e. Eqs. (10) and (15)) lead to a system of linear equa- tions which can be easily solved. The convergence of the proposed method is explained in the Appendix. 4. Implementation of the method to Duffing oscillator. In this section, the approach is used to obtain the approximate solution of Eq. (1). Pri- marily, introducing an independent variable, t  , contributes to transform the mentioned equation to the following: 2 3 5 1 2 3 0,x x x x       (18) where x and  are the second differentiation respect to  , and the frequency of system, respectively. Also, the initial conditions change towards (0)x A and 0.(0)x  4.1. Zero-order approximation. The simplest form of equation in which can satisfy the initial conditions of Eq. (18) is as follows: 2 2 0 0( () cos ); .x A     (19) Substituting above equation into Eq. (18), yields      2 3 5 3 5 5 0 1 2 3 2 3 3 3 5 1 5 1 cos cos 3 cos 5 0. 4 8 4 16 16 A A A A A A A                           (20) To avoid secular terms in the next step, the coefficient of cos ( ) should be identical to zero. Applying this approach, the zero-order approximation (i.e., 0 ) is obtained as follows 2 4 0 1 2 3 3 5 4 8 A A      (21) So, the zero-order analytical approximate solution of Eq. (1) is written as 0 0cos( ).x A t (22) The error for the zero-order approximation obtained as Eq. (23) which will be kept to be used in the next order of approximation:    3 5 5 0 2 3 3 1 5 1 cos 3 cos 5 . 4 16 16 R A A A           (23) 4.2. First-order approximation. To obtain the first-order approximation, the following assumption is considered 2 2 (0) 1 (0) 1( ) ( ) ( ;);x x px p         (24)  1( ) cos( ) cos(3 ) .x B    (25) Eq. (24) is substituted into Eq. (18) and then considering the coefficients of the p, we obtain a function as 1 1( , , )F B  . According to Eq. (10), we have 1 1 0, , )( ( ) 0.F B R    (26) 117 In above equation the coefficients of cos ( ) , cos(3 ) should be vanished. Therefore, we have two linear equations as follows 5 2 3 1 2 15 3 0; 16 4 A B A A B     5 3 4 2 3 2 1 3 2 5 1 85 8 6 0. 16 4 16 A A B A B A B         (27) The solutions of above relations results in: 3 2 4 2 2 3 3 2 2 1 4 2 1 3 2 (25 40 16 )3 ; 16 128 85 96 A A A A A              (28) 3 2 3 2 4 2 1 3 2 (5 4 ) . 128 85 96 A A B A A           (29) According to Eq. (11), the first-order analytical approximate solution of Eq. (1) is writ- ten as       3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 1 4 2 4 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 (5 4 ) (5 4 ) cos cos 3 , 128 85 96 128 85 96 A A A A x A t t A A A A                       (30) where  is as follows 2 0 1 4 2 4 2 4 2 2 8 3 2 2 2 1 3 1 1 3 4 2 3 2 1 465 276 768 660 512 193,75 . 340 384 512 A A A A A A A                           (31) Substituting Eq. (30) into Eq. (18), the error is obtained as function 1 )(R  . 4.3. Second-order approximation. As in previous steps, for the second-order approximation, it is assumed 2 2 (1) 2 (1) 2( ) ( ) ( ;);x x px p         (32) 2 ( ) (cos( ) cos (3 )) (cos( ) cos(5 )).x C D        (33) Eq. (32) is substituted into Eq. (18) and then from the consequent equation, the coeffi- cients of p are considered as 2 2( , , , ).F C D  Now, the error 1 )(R  is added to 2F and con- sequently a new equation is obtained as follow: 2 2 1, , , .( () ) 0F C D R    (34) Equating the coefficients of cos ( ), cos (3 ) and cos(5 ) to zero in Eq. (34), one can obtain three linear equations, consequently. By solving these equations, three unknown con- stants 2 , C and D can be determined. Given the large amount of space of correlations, we evaded to cite them here. But, their numerical values are reported in the results section. Eventually, the second-order analytical approximation of Eq. (1) is        2 2 2 2( ) cos( ) ( ) cos(3 ) cos (5 );x A B C D t B C t D t         (35) 2 2 (2) 0 1 2.      (36) 118 5. Results and discussion.

As can be seen, the values of the second-order meets a good agreement with the exact solution. In order to have a better comparison, for example, the errors of the current approach as well as two mentioned methods for the system parame- ters 1 2 35, 3, 1     are depicted in Fig. 1. The correlation of the error is considered as follows: Error % 100,Exact Exact       (41) where Exact is obtained from Eq. (37). Figure 1. Relative errors for the approximate frequencies respect to amplitude, 1 2 3( 5, 3, 1)     . 120 Fig. 1 shows that the relative error of the current method decreases with increasing the approximation order. Moreover, with increasing the amplitude (i.e., A), the error approaches to approximately 7% and 2,3% for the CHVF-3 and HEBM, respectively; While it goes to- ward almost 5,9%, 1.1% and 0,2% for the zero, first and second order approximations, re- spectively. It is astounding by this figure that merely the first-order approximate solution of the current method leads to accurate results with a relative error less than the third-order coupled homotopy-variational formulation (CHVF-3) as well as He’s energy balance meth- od (HEBM). Similar results have been obtained using other system parameters. Hence, it can be concluded that the frequencies achieved by the proposed method can meet the exact ones in the lower-order approximations. The displacement of the oscillator (i.e., x(t)) considering various system parameters for large amplitude (here A=10) is depicted in Figs. 2 and 3. Figure 2.

The Displacement of oscillator respect to time for 1 2 310, 1, 10, 100A       121 These figures reveal that the GRHBM is an accurate method especially in the first and second orders of approximation and has sufficient ability in solving strong nonlinear prob- lems such as current cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator. The analytical relation obtained in section 4.3, is employed to investigate the effect of nonlinear terms of Eq. (1) on the oscillator frequency. To this end, the coefficients of the cubic and quintic terms (i.e., 2 and 3 ) are supposed to change from 10 to 50 and 0 to 100, respectively. The variation of the frequency for various values of amplitude is illustrat- ed in Figs. 4 – 6. Figure 4. Variation of frequency respect to 3 for various values of 2 for 10,1; 1.A   Figure 5. Variation of frequency respect to 3 for various values of 2 for 1 1.1,A   122 Figure 6. Variation of frequency respect to 3 for various values of 2 for 1 1.5,A   Fig. 4 shows that for small amplitude ( 0,1)A  and a specific value of 2 , the fre- quency is approximately constant and is not influenced by the variation of 3. Also, this figure shows that for a specific value of 3, increasing the 2 contributes to increment of frequency. Figs. 5 and 6 reveal that for large amplitudes and any value of 2 , the frequency increases with increasing 3. Moreover, as can be seen in Fig. 6, for large values of ampli- tude the frequency is only influenced by the variation of 3. 6. Conclusion. In this paper, an iterative approach was employed for obtaining the analytical approxi- mate frequencies and displacement of a conservative system comprising an oscillator with cubic and quintic nonlinearities. Using the achieved analytical expressions, the effect of nonlinear terms on the nonlinear frequency was investigated. The results showed that the cubic term is more impressive in the lower amplitudes and its effect gradually vanishes with increment of oscillator amplitude. Also, the quintic term plays a significant role in nonlinear frequency regarding the higher values of amplitude. Moreover, comparing the results in terms of the other methods showed the applicability and accuracy of the proposed method such that it can approach to the exact solution in the lower-order approximations. The men- tioned method is very simple to implement and is not restricted to the presence of small pa- rameter in system and its results are valid for a wide range of system parameters along with both small and large amplitudes. Therefore, it can be easily extended and employed for the other strong nonlinear oscillators due to its great potential. Appendix.
