Mode analysis of a straight bar

Obtain the lowest six vibration modes and resonant frequencies of the straight steel bar shown in Figure below

Thickness of the bar is 0.005 m, width is 0.01 m, and the length is 0.09 m. Material of the bar is steel with Youngs modulus, E =206 GPa, and Poissons Poisson s ratio =0.3. =0 3 Density =7.8103 kg/m3. Boundary condition: All freedoms are constrained at the left end. end
