Results
The resonant frequency calculated by Femtet is compared to the theoretical value of cantilever.
The difference between the measured and the theoretical values is given in the following equation.
Difference = (Resonant frequency/Theoretical value of cantilever) – 1.0
The theoretical value is given in the following equation.
f0: Resonant frequency[Hz]
E: Young’s modulus[Pa]
I: Second moment of section (=(depth x (height^3))/12)[m4]
ρ: Density[kg/m3]
A: Section area[m2]
l:: Length[m]
λ=1.8751
