SUMMARY
The natural frequency of vibration for a rectangular plate made of Al-6061 with dimensions 100 x 80 mm, fixed at four corners, can be calculated using established formulas from plate vibration theory. The relevant parameters include material properties such as Young's modulus and density, as well as geometric factors. For precise calculations, refer to the vibration of plates resources, including the Wikipedia page on the subject.
