High stress values outside of natural frequencies

Hello,

In Optistruct frequency response modal analysis, I am getting very high stress peaks outside of the natural frequencies. For example, I am applying same amount of acceleration from 1 to 100 Hz. According to the modal analysis, system has natural frequencies at 11.4 , 14.0 , 16.7 , 27.08 Hz. But when I investigate stress vs. frequency, I obtain the highest stress values at 22.6 Hz with much higher than the ones at natural frequencies. What can be wrong here?

    Its not necessary that you would get peak stresses based on natural frequencies.Can you please share some more information related to inputs defined?(.fem & .out file)
