Vibration modal coordinates or modal participation factors. It may be clearer to understand if formula_72 is written as: Written in this form it can be seen that the vibration at each of the degrees of freedom is just a linear sum of the mode shapes. Furthermore, how much each mode "participates" in the final vibration is defined by q, its modal participation factor. An unrestrained multi-degree of freedom system experiences both rigid-body translation and/or rotation and vibration. The existence of a rigid-body mode results in a zero natural frequency. The corresponding mode shape is called the rigid-body mode. Vibration Vibration is
Number density the objects in the volume "V" can be expressed as Similar expressions are valid for electric charge or any other extensive quantity associated with countable objects. For example, replacing "m" with "q" (total charge) and "m" with "q" (charge of each object) in the above equation will lead to a correct expression for charge. The number density of solute molecules in a solvent is sometimes called concentration, although usually concentration is expressed as a number of moles per unit volume (and thus called molar concentration). For any substance, the number density can be expressed in terms of its amount concentration
