In this paper, the ancient Chinese algorithm is applied to derive fractal microgravity forced oscillator's frequency–amplitude response curves using the two-scale fractal transform derivative. Depending on the fractal parameter values, it is shown that the system restoring forces exhibit hardening or softening behavior. Furthermore, the proposed solution approach is simple, efficient, and accurate for obtaining the approximate steady-state solution of a fractal microgravity nonlinear oscillator with a purely nonlinear power-form restoring force.

In this paper, the steady-state solution of Duffing-type oscillators with fractal-order derivative is obtained. First, the two-scale fractal-order derivative transform is used to write the fractal differential equation of motion as an ordinary differential non-homogenous equation of motion. Then the ancient Chinese algorithm and He's formulation are used to find the approximate frequency-amplitude response curve. The results show that the steady-state response diagrams exhibit hardening or softening behavior depending on the fractal parameter value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
