The purpose of this thesis is to perform the experimental study on the power flow analysis of the vibration of various plate structures. In the experimental work, the characteristics of vibration of the various plate structures have been measured, which include input mobilities, loss factors, coupling loss factors and frequency response functions. The experimental models includes a simple plate, a plate covered with a damping material, a plate coupled with 90˚angle and a plate coupled with 30˚angle. The input mobilities and loss factors of the simple plate and plate covered with the damping material have been measured. Each coupled plate was divided into 2 subsystems considering the patterns of vibration on the corresponding coupled plate. The input mobility, loss factor and coupling loss factor of each subsystem of the corresponding coupled plate have been measured. Each subsystem of the corresponding coupled plate has been excited and the frequency response functions have been measured on the coupled plate. In the analytical work, the power flow analysis has been implemented to predict the frequency response functions of the coupled plates. The predicted results have been compared with the experimental results for the frequency response functions of the coupled plates. The comparison showed that the power flow analysis can be effectively used to predict the vibration of the coupled plates.
