Cantilever Beam Modal Analysis

Created using ANSYS 13.0

Problem Specification

Consider an aluminum beam that is clamped at one end, with the following dimensions.

Length

4 m

Width

0.346 m

Height

0.346 m

The aluminum used for the beam has the following material properties.

Density

2,700 kg/m^3

Youngs Modulus

70x10^9 Pa

Poisson Ratio

0.35

Using ANSYS Workbench find the first six natural frequencies of the beam and the mode shapes.
