A method is proposed for estimating the vibrational characteristics of resonant frequencies and resonant modes of a sealed core structure which is used for a large scale shunt reacter. Yettram's framework theory has been extended to treat an anisotropic plate and has been verified through experimental work on a model sealed core. After this verification this method is tried by applying a conceptional design for a sealed core of actual shunt reactor. Throughout this conceptional design work, sufficient capability for investigating the interference between structural design and electromagnetic exciting force has been recognized.
