The steady-state response of forced damped nonlinear oscillators is considered, the restoring force of which has a non-negative real power-form nonlinear term and the linear term of which can be negative, zero or positive. The damping term is also assumed in a power form, thus covering polynomial and non-polynomial damping. The method of multiple scales with a new expansion parameter is presented in order to cover the cases when the nonlinearity is not necessarily small. Amplitude-frequency equations and approximate solutions for the steady-state response at the frequency of excitation are obtained and compared with numerical results, showing good agreement.
