We consider periodic solution for coupled systems of mass-spring. Three practical cases of these systems are explained and introduced. An analytical technique called Parameter Expansion Method (PEM) was applied to calculate approximations to the achieved nonlinear differential oscillation equations. Comparing with exact solutions, the first approximation to the frequency of oscillation produces tolerable error 3.14% as the maximum. By the second iteration the respective error became 1/5th, as it is 0.064%. So we conclude that the first approximation of PEM is so benefit when a quick answer is required, but the higher order approximation gives a convergent precise solution when an exact solution is required.

This paper applies He’s parameter-expansion method to determine the limit cycle of oscillators in a u3/(1+u2) potential. The results are compared with the exact solutions. This shows that the method is a convenient and powerful mathematical tool for the search of limit cycles of nonlinear oscillators.
