Calculus of variations is used to derive a mathematical model for a single-link flexible manipulator. The solutions of the resulting characteristic equation are the natural frequencies of the beam.

Calculus of variations is used very often in physics, but often it is vibes based in order to derive a formula in a lecture. The purpose of these notes is to introduce the formalism of variational ...
