• This experiment can be used to estimate the first five natural frequencies of a beam.
  
  
• These different types of beam are considered as
  
  • Cantilever beam
    
  • Fixed beam
    
  • Simply supported beam
    
    
• The modal analysis is carried out to estimate the natural frequencies by two different ways that are theoretical and by simulation. natural frequencies for particular case .
  
  
• The experimentation is carried out to provide the information to how to get natural frequencies for particular cases.
  
  
• The first five frequencies are calculated by using the theory as we have discussed in previous section ad these are compared with simulations by using commercial software ANSYS.
  
  
• In additionally mode shapes along with their frequency response are shown in addition to the natural frequencies.
  
  
• Only the natural frequencies of the in-plane mode shapes are considered. The obtained rsults show the good argument with the theoretical results.
  
  
• 30 cm length of beam of rectangular cross section was considered throughout the experiment.
  
  
• Modal and harmonic analysis is carried out to different values of width the thickness of beam.
