This paper presents a comprehensive stability analysis of the dynamics of the damped cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator. We employ the derivative expansion method to investigate the slightly damped cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator obtaining a uniformly valid solution. We obtain a uniformly valid solution of the un-damped cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator as a special case of our solution. A phase plane analysis of the damped cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator is undertaken showing some chaotic dynamics which sends a signal that the oscillator may be useful as model for prediction of earth - quake occurrence.
