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 establishes a framework to determine the extrema of functionals—mappings from functions to real numbers—which has been pivotal in elucidating natural principles such as the ...
