Natural Frequencies and Mode Shapes
To obtain the natural frequencies and mode shapes the following program was setup in a m-script file:
Natural Frequencies obtained:

Block 1 0.1230
Block 2 0.2434
Block 3 0.3590
Block 4 0.4672
Block 5 0.5659
Block 6 0.6530
Block 7 0.7269
Block 8 0.7860
Block 9 0.8291
Block 10 0.8553
As obtained in program: With variable name nat_freq, all the natural frequencies of the 10 blocks are stored
it in matrix form. It is obtained in the program as follows:
nat_freq =
