Abstract: Based on the analytical approximations to period of nonlinear oscillators with even potential functions, a new analytical approximate period to nonlinear oscillators with general potential functions is established. The new approximation converges fast and it can also be used to derive the analytical approximate periods of nonlinear oscillators with general potential functions having the form of piecewise expressions.

Key words: nonlinear oscillator, even potential functions, general potential functions, analytical approximation
