Analysis of Natural Frequencies for Cantilever Beam with I- and T- Section Using Ansys

Abstract

Modal analysis is a process to determine the vibration characteristics (natural frequencies and mode shapes) of a structure or a machine component while it is being designed. It has become a major alternative to provide a helpful contribution in understanding control of many vibration phenomena which encountered in practice. In this work we compared the natural frequency for different material having same I and T cross- sectional beam. The cantilever beam is designed and analyzed in ANSYS. The cantilever beam which is fixed at one end is vibrated to obtain the natural frequency, mode shapes and deflection with different loads.
