This paper deals with the following problem for a quasilinear wave equation: \[ \begin{alignedat}{2} U_{tt}-b^2U_{xx}&=\varepsilon f(x,U_x,U_{xx},\tau ,\theta,\varepsilon),\quad&&\\ [U_x+hU]_{x=0}&=\varepsilon \eta(U(0,t)),& [U_x+h_1U]_{x=l}&=\varepsilon\omega(U(l,t)),\\ U|_{t=0}&=pX_1(x)+\varepsilon Y(x), & U_x|_{t=0}&=qX_1(x)+\varepsilon Z(x).\end{alignedat} \] Here \(b,h,h_1,p,q,l\) are fixed real numbers, \(\varepsilon >0\) is a small parameter, \(\tau =\varepsilon t\), and the function \(f\) is \(2\pi \)-periodic with respect to \(\theta \) where \(d\theta /dt=\nu(\tau)\approx \omega_1\) and \(\omega_1\) is the main frequency of the unperturbed system. The author seeks a solution to the problem in the form \[ U=aX_1(x)\cos(\theta +\psi)+ \varepsilon U_1(x,a,\tau,\theta +\psi,\theta)+\varepsilon^2\ldots \] where \(a, \psi \) are considered as solutions of the system \[ da/dt=\varepsilon A_1(\tau,a,\psi)+\varepsilon^2\ldots,\quad d\psi /dt= \omega _1-\nu(\tau)+ \varepsilon B_1(\tau,a,\psi)+\varepsilon^2\ldots \] A procedure for finding \(2\pi \)-periodic in \(\theta +\psi\), \(\theta\), \(\psi\) functions \(U_i\), \(A_i\), \(B_i\) \((i=1,2,3,\ldots)\) is presented.
