The paper presents an extended averaged equation approach to the investigation of nonlinear vibration problems. The proposed method is applied to some free/selfexcited oscillators, nonlinear free and forced oscillations of a suspension system with two-degree-of-freedom.

Research on vibration phenomena in nonlinear systems with an aim to reduce undesired vibration is needed. A great interest to researchers is to develop new methods for investigating nonlinear vibrations preferably applicable to wide classes of nonlinear systems including weak and strong nonlinearity, subject to deterministic and/or random excitations [1-9]. The method of moment equation is well known for analysis of random nonlinear vibration phenomena and gives also good approximate solutions for systems with strong nonlinearity [10-11]. The question is whether the method can be extended to deterministic systems. A proposed approach given in this paper concerned with some following classical methods. The averaging method is attributed to Bogoliubov and Mitropolsky [2]. The method, however, dates from the 18th century and was proved first to be correct by Fatou. More up-to-date references for the averaging method were given in [15, 16]. An extension of averaging method to nonlinear to strongly nonlinear .
