The free vibration characteristics of Al cantilever square plates with a brass inclusion were analyzed experimentally and numerically The experimentally obtained natural frequencies and mode shapes were compared with the FEM analysis results. The impulse exciting method was used for experiment and ANSYS software package was used for FEM analysis. The natural frequencies obtained iron experiment and numerical analysis matched within $0\%$. It was found that the natural frequencies of the Al cantilever square plates with a brass inclusion decrease as the size of inclusion increases. For the third mode shape, comparing the nodal line of the Al plate and the Al plate with a inclusion, the mode shape showed the reversed quadratic curve. The natural frequencies of inclusion plate were decreased as the location of inclusion moves from the clamped edge to the tree edge.
