A numerical approach for analyzing the forced vibration problem of an unsymmetrically laminated FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) composite plate has already been proposed by us. The purpose of this study was to apply the numerical approach to a clamped antisymmetrically laminated rectangular plate and to compare numerical results with experimental ones. First, we attempted to estimate numerically the steady-state response of a rectangular plate, and discussed the convergence of the results. Next, the accelerances of the clamped antisymmetrically laminated square and rectangular plates made of CFRP were obtained experimentally. These experimental accelerances were compared with and found to agree well with the numerical results computed using the measured structural damping factors of the lamina.
