In the case of this particular head, which was extremely rigid to begin with, it made more sense to look to reduce its natural frequency by removing stiffeners. We proceeded by modeling and analyzing the head in Solidworks after removal of the stiffeners. In doing so, our goal was to reduce the natural frequency to an acceptable level. Eventually we settled on the below design which removed the external stiffeners and half of the internal stiffeners.
