A new modification of homotopy analysis method (HAM) is proposed for capturing asymmetric solutions of wire rope isolation systems. Analytical expressions of asymmetric solutions to wire rope isolation systems are obtained. A dynamic system with quadratic polynomial restoring force is investigated specifically. Then the analytical results are applied to a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system with wire rope vibration isolator to investigate the response curve and other dynamic characteristics. The analytical approximations match satisfactorily with the numerical results. The presented analytical approximation is a useful method to derive the response curves and examine limit cycles without resorting to numerical simulations.
