Figures
Mode 1

The first mode was calculated at the frequency of 238.26 Hertz, and as we can see the maximum
deformation is concentrated at the center of the figure, and this deformation is decreasing as it
reaches de sides of the shape.
Mode 2

Mode 2 was calculated at a frequency of 341.33 Hertz, and different from mode 1 in this case we
can see how maximum deformation is at the edges of the body and decreases while moving to the
center. There are 5 point to notice, which are the ones where the minimum deformation is occurring,
this ones are distributed circumferentially around the shape near to the area where the max
deformation is occurring.

Mode 3

Mode 3 was calculated at a frequency of 475.48 Hertz, and in this case we can observe to main
points where maximum deformation is concentrated. And around them the deformation is
proportionally decreasing until reaching the edge where theres the minimum deformation.
Mode 4

Mode 4 was calculated at a frequency of 476.08, the results are pretty similar to the results in mode
3, with the slightly different of the position of the maximum deformation zones.

Mode 5

Mode 5 was calculated at a frequency of 700.52 Hertz, in this case there are two main points where
maximum deformation is present, there are two other points where theres a considerable
deformation, this four points are distributed circumferentially around de base of the figure.
