It is also possible to test a physical object to determine its natural frequencies and mode shapes. This is called an [[modal analysis|Experimental Modal Analysis]]. The results of the physical test can be used to calibrate a finite element model to determine if the underlying assumptions made were correct (for example, correct material properties and boundary conditions were used).

For the most basic problem involving a linear elastic material which obeys [[Hooke's Lawlaw]],

the [[Matrix (mathematics)|matrix]] equations take the form of a dynamic three-dimensional spring mass system.

The generalized equation of motion is given as:<ref>Clough, Ray W. and Joseph Penzien, ''Dynamics of Structures'', 2nd Ed.,
