Summary

The eigenfrequencies and mode shapes of a simple beam are calculated based on [1]. During the calculation procedure, It is assumed that:

  • There is no structural coupling between the different degrees of freedom of the beam
  • The beam is homogeneous
  • The beam is un-damped
  • there are free oscillations

Four boundaries conditions are included:

  • pinned-pinned
  • clamped-free
  • clamped-clamped
  • clamped-pinned

Two Geometries are available:

  • rectangular beam
  • cylinder

Content:

  • eigenModes.m: a function used to compute the eigenfrequencies and modes shapes of a continuous beam with different boundaries conditions.
  • Example.m is an application of this function.
