Project Overview
In this Abaqus tutorial, the natural frequency of a mass-spring system is calculated using both the analytical solution and the Abaqus software.
The main objective of this example is to calculate the natural frequency using the analytical solution first, then obtain the natural frequency from the Abaqus simulation, and finally compare the results obtained from both approaches.
Mass-Spring System
In this problem, the stiffness of the spring (K) is 200 N/m, and the concentrated mass is 3 kg.
These parameters are used to calculate the natural frequency of the mass-spring system using the analytical solution and the Abaqus software.
Analytical Solution and Abaqus
First, the natural frequency of the mass-spring system is calculated using the analytical solution. Following that, the same problem is modeled in Abaqus and the natural frequency is obtained from the numerical analysis.
Finally, the natural frequency obtained from Abaqus is compared with the value calculated using the analytical solution.
Comparison of Results
The natural frequency obtained from the Abaqus software is 1.3 Hz.
The natural frequency obtained from the analytical solution is also 1.3 Hz.
As observed from the results, the natural frequency obtained from Abaqus is exactly in agreement with the analytical solution.
