Benchmark Model
The 2-node simple beam elements are used to model the problem. The cantilever beam consists of five elements. Two rigid elements are used to connect mass 1, 10000 kg, and mass 2, 1000 kg, at the end of the cantilever beam. All degrees of freedom at end A are constrained.
The material properties for the cantilever beam are:
- Property
- Value
- E
- 200 x 109 N/m2
- 8000 kg/m3
