The diamond, when mounted from one corner, can be approximately modeled as a cantilever (a beam fixed at one end and free at the other) with non-uniform width. In order to determine the natural oscillatory motion of the diamond, I decided to develop a mathematical model for the motion of cantilevers with non-uniform width, and test that model with data from physical cantilevers.
