The unified Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolskii (KBM) method is used for determining the
analytical approximate solution of a fourth order weakly nonlinear differential system with strong
damping and slowly varying coefficients when a pair of eigen-values of the unperturbed equation
is a multiple (approximately or perfectly) of the other pair or pairs. In a damped case, one of the
natural frequencies of the linearized equation may be a multiple of the other. The analytical first
order approximate solution for different initial conditions shows a good coincidence with those
obtained by the numerical procedure. The method is illustrated by an example.
