The main goal of this work is to focus on using He's two-scale fractal dimension transform, the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional-order derivative, and the harmonic balance and the homotopy methods are applied for deriving the approximate solution of the fractal, damped cubic–quintic Duffing's equation when the fractional derivative order of the inertia term is not twice of that of the damping term. Numerical results obtained from the derived expressions and the numerical integration solution show good agreement, especially at small values of the nonlinear parameters. Furthermore, when the fractal order of the damping term decreases, the damping oscillation frequency values increase with a decrease in the system wavelength values, which indicates a slower decay in the system oscillation amplitudes. Our solution procedures elucidate the applicability of He's two-scale fractal dimension transform for solving nonlinear dynamic systems with inertia and damping fractal terms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]
