In the world, there are several types of vibration, and these vibrations especially affect the mechanical industry. In this paper, experimental analysis of vibration modes of plates is discussed. Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is one of the optical nondestructive testing techniques. By using the ESPI, vibration modes of plates with various excitation points, ratio of longitudinal and lateral length, and materials are measured and qualitatively compared with the results of theoretical analysis proposed by Warburton. Finally, these vibration modes are quantitatively compared with the result of FEM analysis. The results of this study are as follows: (I) By comparing the theoretical and experimental frequencies, we confirmed qualitatively that deviations of frequencies are within 10% in accuracy.(2) By comparing the experimental vibration mode shapes with the numerical ones of the FEM analysis, we can conclude quantitatively that measuring vibration modes by using the ESPI has high accuracy.
