Graphical results furthermore show the effect of the damping and nonlinear parameter on the system. Our contribution relies on its application to the choice of hard/soft spring in the mechanism of shock absorbers. %K Duffing Equation %K Eigenvalues %K Fractional Derivative %K Hard Spring %K Jacobian Matrix %K Soft Spring %K Stability %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/5427494
