A New Approach to Analytical Solution of Cantilever Beam Vibration With Nonlinear Boundary Condition

This paper presents the application of novel and reliable exact equivalent function (EF) for deadzone nonlinearity in an analytical investigation of nonlinear differential equations. A highly nonlinear equation of cantilever beam vibration with a deadzone nonlinear boundary condition is used to indicate the effectiveness of this EF. To obtain the analytical solution of dynamic behavior of the mentioned system, a powerful method, called He’s parameter expanding method (HPEM) is used. Comparison of the obtained solutions using a numerical method reveals the accuracy of this analytical EF.
