In practice, an assumed shape of vibration (x) is used to estimate
the equivalent stiffness (Keq) and mass (Meq).
y(0,t) =0 (x=0) =0
(y/x)x=0=0 d/dx|x=0=0 for all times t>0.

The equivalent mass of the beam, Meq, is a fraction of the total
mass (~1/5) since the material points composing the beam
participate differently in the vibratory motion.
