Is there a formula relating the free resonating frequency of a cantilever to its deflection? Thanks!

The resonant frequency is a function of material and geometric properties of the beam and is independent of the deflection.
For a cantilever beam of uniform cross-section,
f=\frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac{8EI}{\rho Al^4}}
I: moment of inertia (depends on cross section)
E: Young's modulus
\rho: density
A: cross-section area
l: length
