At different shapes or at different modes of cantilever beam we draw out the results of the frequencies and helps to further study its vibrations for future scope of work. The main future scope of work that can be build using these observations is converting mechanical vibrations on chassis of a body into electrical energy using piezo materials. It is also concluded in this report about what is the best suitable place for the piezo patch could be placed to get some productive and efficient outcome. Key Words: Frequency, beam, Patch, Location, Time period. 1. INTRODUCTION Due to increasingly employed functionally graded materials in high-tech industries, studying behavior of structural components such as beams or plates made of that material under various loadings becomes vitally essential. The most important achievements in modelling and analysis of the material and structures were reported in the surveys given by Birman and Byrd [1] and Gupta and Talha [2]. Various problems in dynamic analysis of functionally graded beams were studied in the widespread literature, for instance, in the works [3–7]. A large number of works is devoted also to study vibrations of the beams with localized damages such as cracks [8–13]. Recently, some procedures were proposed by Yu and Chu [14]; Banerjee et al [15] and Khiem and Huyen [16] to detect cracks in functionally graded beams with natural frequencies measured by the traditional technique of modal testing. As well known, the traditional modal testing is restricted to use a limited number of discrete sensors and actuators that are usually unable to gather sufficient amount of data for solving the problem of damage detection in structural health monitoring. Therefore, using distributed sensors and actuators for modal testing would be surely promising to enhance solution of the damage detection problem. Present study deals with location of piezo on cantilever beam with respective to the frequency for first 6 modes. To study frequency extraction ANSYS work bench Used. 2 Ansys Simulation Ansys is a simulation software which helps in product design, testing and operation. So for this project we would like to use ansys for our observations. After simulating with the required conditions and inclined to the project basis we would like to draw the possible results and observations. To observe the change in frequencies on a cantilever beam using piezo material by placing it at different positions on the beam. Taking into consideration some of the technical advantages of piezo material we wanted to observe the frequency variations on a cantilever beam using this material. This study on frequency variations can be done using the ANSYS software by simulating the desired form. Ansys develops and markets engineering simulation software for use across the product life cycle. Ansys Mechanical finite element analysis software is used to simulate computer models of structures, electronics, or machine components for analysing strength, toughness, elasticity, temperature distribution, electromagnetism, fluid flow, and other attributes. Ansys is used to determine how a product will function with different specifications, without building test products or conducting crash tests. For example, Ansys software may simulate how a bridge will hold up after years of traffic, how to best process salmon in a cannery to reduce waste, or how to design a slide that uses less material without sacrificing safety. Most Ansys simulations are performed using the Ansys Workbench system, which is one of the company's main products. Typically Ansys users break down larger structures into small components that are each modelled and tested individually. A user may start by defining the dimensions of an object, and then adding weight, pressure, temperature and other physical properties. Finally, the Ansys software simulates and analyses movement, fatigue, fractures, fluid flow, temperature distribution, electromagnetic efficiency and other effects over time. Ansys also develops software for data management and backup, academic research and teaching. Ansys software is sold on an annual subscription basis. 3.Materials and technical information Materials used Beam material aluminium Patch material piezo
