Natural Frequency of Simply Supported Beam with Mass at Center Equation and Calculator

Eq. 1 Simply Supported Beam with Mass at Center

ω 1 = 2.2 π E I ( m + 17 35 g w ) L 3

Where:

E = Modulus of elasticity lbs/in2

I = Area moment of inertia, in4

w = weight per unit area of plate, lbs/in2

m = mass at center, lbs

L = length, in

g = 386, in/sec2
