A cantilever beam with an I-beam cross-section of length L is defined. The beam has five mass points with masses m acting in the X-direction. The self-weight is neglected. The frequencies, the mode shapes, and the equivalent loads of this 5-DOF system are analytically calculated and compared with results from RSTAB and RFEM.
