Abstract

In this paper, we derive a new exact solution of the damped quadratic nonlinear oscillator (Helmholtz oscillator) based on the developed solution for the undamped case by the Jacobi elliptic functions. It is interesting to see that both of the damped Duffing oscillator and Helmholtz oscillator possess solutions that follow closely to the undamped case, and even the solution procedures are almost the same.
