This study attempts to apply vibration-based damage detection method specifically Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) on fiberglass reinforced epoxy plate. OMA is used on healthy fiber glass reinforced epoxy plate to extract the modal parameters and the procedure is extended to damaged fiberglass reinforced epoxy plate. Both healthy and damaged composite material are tested under different boundary conditions i.e. free-free on 4 edges, 1 edge clamped, 2 edges clamped, 3 edges clamped and 4 edges of free-free boundary condition. The result of frequency from OMA was compared analytically with Finite Element Method (FEM). Nastran software is employed in this study. The FEM using Nastran shows that the result obtained is not accurate enough compared to OMA. Therefore, another method was applied to look at the effectiveness of OMA method using Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA). It was observed that both EMA and OMA methods gave small deviation and good correlation.
