Abstract
In this paper, He's homotopy perturbation method is applied to nonlinear Jerk equations involving the third temporal derivative of displacement. The result reveals that the first-order approximate period is identical to that obtained by the harmonic balance method. However, the high-order analytical approximate periods and periodic solutions are more accurate and in better agreement with the exact results. Thus, He's homotopy perturbation method is very effective for these third-order nonlinear differential equations.
