Fixed Fixed Beam Natural Frequency Formula:

Parameter Equation
First natural frequency of fixed beam with center load M, beam weight negligible [f1 ] $${ f }_{ 1 }=\frac { 13.86 }{ 2\pi } \sqrt { \frac { EIg }{ M{ l }^{ 3 } } } $$
Natural frequency of fixed beam with uniform load w per unit length including beam weight [fn] $${ f }_{ n }=\frac { { K }_{ n } }{ 2\pi } \sqrt { \frac { EIg }{ w{ l }^{ 4 } } } $$
First natural frequency of fixed beam with uniform load w per unit length plus a center load M (approximately) [f1] $${ f }_{ 1 }=\frac { 13.86 }{ 2\pi } \sqrt { \frac { EIg }{ M{ l }^{ 3 }+0.383w{ l }^{ 4 } } } $$
