Abstract

In this article, comparison of vibration response of a cantilever beam to harmonic forcing using different types of finite elements is performed. The study has been performed using a finite element model of the beam. While modeling the beam, different types of elements are used. Results are compared with the result obtained analytically. Harmonic analysis of cantilever beam using 1D, 2D quadrilateral, 2D triangular, 3D hexahedral, and 3D tetrahedral elements. 3D hexahedral elements give least deviation from exact natural frequencies. From the results obtained, for harmonic analysis 1D, 2D quadrilateral and 3D hexahedral elements should be used to get accurate results.
