Design, Analysis and Simulation of Cantilever Beam Using Different Tools.

Abstract: The article concerns the vibration control of a cantilever beam using LabVIEW. The cantilever beam is designed using different software to compare the modal analysis of the beam. Four different types of software were used in this project. One is for experimentation using LabVIEW software with the help of myRIO tool kit. The other three are ANSYS, COMSOL and Intellisuite. The cantilever beam is designed using its dimensions and the frequency response for the applied changes is measured by Intellisuite software. The changes in the potential, stress mises and displacement occurred in the region of beam for the applied pressure is analysed using Intellisuite software. The design and analysis of cantilever beam for different Eigen Frequencies are done using COMSOL. By using this software the modal analysis of the cantilever beam is done. The comparison of modal analysis of the cantilever beam is done between ANSYS, COMSOL and Intellisuite. The vibration controlled in the cantilever beam using LabVIEW is explained in detail.
