Hi
I'm currently setting up a simple cantilever beam experiment. The cantilever will be positioned vertical and a spray force will be exerted from the left hand side, causing the plate to deflect. This deflection will be measured and recorded.
My question is how do I calculate the resonant frequency of this cantilever? I need to make sure that the force exerted does not cause the plate to oscillate at its resonant frequency and hence output inaccurate displacement values. If I can find this out I could possible determine an adequate thickness and length before making it.
Similarly, the force exerted will be from a spray. Is there a way of calculating the resonant frequency of the spray on the plate, to ensure I do not reach this point and hence obtain inaccurate values.
Thank you in advance
