Objectives 1. Verify the provided GWSh normal mode cubic Hermite FE basis implementation algorithm m-file template for analysis of the vibrating Euler-Bernoulli beam problem statement. 2. Compute the first four eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes using the base mesh. 3. Via a mesh refinement study, graph the convergence properties of the cubic Hermite FE implementation eigenvalue and eigenmode solutions of the normal mode GWSh algorithm. Determine the uniform mesh M necessary for engineering accuracy.
