    The following ODE is investigated: \(x''+g(x)=\epsilon \mu f(x,x')+\epsilon \delta h(x,x',\omega t)\) where \(h(x,x',\omega t)\) is periodic in t. A relationship between the Melnikov function and the Poincaré mapping is established and a new proof for the Melnikov method is given. Some illustrative examples are also presented.
