Abstract
Vibration analysis of any mechanical systems is very important since excess vibrations leads to failure of the mechanical systems. There are many methods and instruments available in the engineering field for measuring the mechanical vibrations in mechanical systems. In this present work transverse vibrations of a cantilever beam are analyzed analytically and experimentally. In our present work FFT analyzer is used to measure the natural frequency of vibration of a cantilever beam. Initially the natural frequency of the cantilever beam is calculated analytically and then natural frequency was found out by experimentally by using FFT and the results were compared. Both analytical and experimental results were found to be almost the same. The present work shows a standard procedure for the determination of natural frequency of vibration of a cantilever beam by analytical and experimental methods by using FFT analyzer
