CANTILEVER BEAM NATURAL FREQUENCY

Cantilever beam natural frequency calculator to calculate natural frequency of a uniform beam with length L and uniform load w per unit length including beam weight. Beam is fixed from one end and the other end is free (cantilevered beam). The formula used for cantilever beam natural frequency calculations is: $${ f }_{ n }=\frac { { K }_{ n } }{ 2\pi } \sqrt { \frac { EIg }{ w{ l }^{ 4 } } } $$. E in the formula is modulus of elasticity and I is the area moment of inertia. First five mode of vibrations are found by the calculator.
