Cantilever Beam Modal Analysis
Created using ANSYS AIM 17.1
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 AIM find the first six natural frequencies of the beam and the mode shapes.
