The paper aims to develop a perturbative expansion for a class of one-dimensional wave equations which generalize the D'Alembert equation, adding to it nonlinearity, a source term, and spatial and temporal dependence of coefficients. The equation is cast in a form in which the D'Alembert wave operator, acting on a perturbation added to the solutions of the usual D'Alembert equation, is equated to a source generated by additional terms in the equation. Then, the solution is constructed as a perturbative series. Applications of this method to some particular equations are elaborated too.
