Natural frequencies

by Dr. Jiří Plešek

Problem description

Calculate the lowest ten natural frequencies of the cantilever beam shown. Compare the FEM results with the theoretical beam solution.

Material properties

$E=2\times10^5\text{ MPa},$ $\nu=0.3,$ $\rho=7800\text{ kg/m$^3.$}$

Solution

The results of the computation are shown in the table below.
