STRUCTURAL DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF CANTILEVER BEAM STRUCTURE

Structural dynamic analysis is required to understand the vibration related behavior of structures including their eigenvalues, modeshapes and frequency response functions. In this paper, structural dynamic analysis of a cantilever beam structure has been performed. Spatial finite element model of the beam structure is formulated and then analyzed further to produce modal model and response model of the structure. The work is helpful in understanding the dynamic behavior such as extreme versus intermediate positions of modeshapes and point versus transient frequency response functions of the cantilever beam structure.
