Natural Frequencies to Traverse Vibrations

Fundamental Natural Frequencies of Beams (bending) and Shafts (Torsion)

The values for natural frequencies relate to cycle/unit time.  The higher harmonic modes are not listed.  To obtain values for wn in radians/s multiply values by 2.p.

Simply Supported Beam


Mode 1 2 3 4
K9,87 39,5 88,8 158

Beam with fixed ends


Mode 1 2 3 4
