Natural Frequency and Resonance


Background
Natural frequency is the frequency at which a system naturally vibrates once it has been set into motion. In other words, natural frequency is the number of times a system will oscillate (move back and forth) between its original position and its displaced position, if there is no outside interference. For example, consider a simple beam fixed at one end and having a mass attached to its free end, as shown in Figure 1. If the beam tip is pulled downward, then released, the beam will oscillate at its natural frequency.
