Using the integral average method, we establish some oscillation criteria for the nonlinear differential equation with damped term $$a(t)|{x}^{prime}(t)|^{sigma-1}{x}^{prime}(t)^{prime}+p(t)|{x}^{prime}(t)|^{sigma-1}{x}^{prime}(t)+q(t)f(x(t))=0,;{sigma}>1$$, where the functions $a,;p$ and $q$ are real-valued continuous functions defined on $[t_o,{infty})$ with $a(t)>0,;f(x){in}C^1(mathbb{R})$ and $frac{f^{prime}(u)}{|f^{({sigma}-1)/{sigma}}(u)|}{geq}k>0$ for $u{ eq}0$.
