    Vibration problem: natural frequency=resonance?

    Hi... I am leanring some knowledge about vibration. For a given vibaraiton system, for example, cantilever beam, we can perform modal anlaysis and found five natural frequency of 3, 6, 8, 10 and 20 Hz (just made up) and five corresponding vibration modes. after that we give a harmonic force on...

    Why natural frequency conveyors are not dangerous?

    I've read that natural frequency conveyors are very efficient because the drive only compensates for the amplitude that's lost in the elastic supports. Could you please explain how is this different from working at resonant frequency which is so dangerous? P.S. What kind of analysis should I...
