Modal Analysis

Hi everyone, 

 

While Performing modal analysis, I Gave RHO(Density) value in 7.8 x 10^-6(Kg/mm3) for steel material, I got some Modal frequency.



But, If same given in tone/mm3 ( 7.8 x 10^-9) I got some other frequency. Yeah it is obvious that natural frequency is a function of mass matrix but I am confused which to use?

    Hi Parthiban,

    As you are using E=200000MPA, then you can go for density as 7.8e-9 ton/mm3.

    You can refer the below consistent unit system.

    As you can see for 7.8e-6 density value, E value should be 210GPA or 0.21mN/mm2.

    Hope this answers your query.

    Thanks
