The exact traveling wave solutions to a class of 5th-order nonlinear wave equations were studied with the sub-equation method and the dynamic system analysis approach. The low- er-order sub-equations of this class of high-order nonlinear equations were first derived, then the traveling wave solutions were investigated via the various exact solutions to the sub-equa- tions under different parameter conditions. As an example, 2 families of exact valley-form soli- tary wave solutions and 2 families of smooth periodic traveling wave solutions to the Sawada- Kotera equation were presented. This method can be applied to study the traveling wave solu-tions to high-order nonlinear wave equations of which the corresponding traveling wave system can be reduced to the nonlinear ODEs involving only even-order derivatives, sum of squares of lst-order derivatives and polynomial of dependent variables.
