  • First Online:

Abstract

We seek an expansion that is valid for small but finite amplitude motions. It is convenient to introduce a small, dimensionless parameter e which is of the order of the amplitude of the motion and can be used as a crutch, or a bookkeeping device, in obtaining the approximate solution [22,33–35].
