Cantilever Beam Modal Analysis

Created using ANSYS (Version Number)

Learning Goals

In this tutorial, you will learn to:

• (e.g.: Determine the displacements and stresses in a bike crank using 3D FEA capabilities in ANSYS Mechanical)
• (e.g.: Verify the finite-element results from ANSYS by refining the mesh and also comparing with hand calculations)

AIM 17.1

Problem Specification

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

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

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