This investigation treats the free vibration of a simply supported rectangular plate, stiffened with viscoelastic beams. Using a convenient method in which the effects of beams are expressed with Dirac delta functions, the equation of motion can be expressed by only one equation. The frequency equation is obtained by applying the Laplace transformation to the equation of motion. The effects of the volume and the number of beams on the frequency and the logarithmic decrement are clarified.
