Cantilever Effective Mass

The shape function for a cantilever with a force F applied at its free end is

where E is the Young's modulus of the cantilever material and is the bending moment
of inertia of the beam.

The displacement at the free end of the cantilever is

So,

and .

Subbing the expression above into the equation for effective mass gives

After integrating and factoring out an l the expression becomes

which simplifies and evaluates to
