Abstract

The novelty of this paper is the use of a meshless local collocation method based on the multiquadric radial basis functions for free vibration analysis of functionally graded plates. This method approximates the governing equations based on first-order shear deformation theory using the nodes in the support domain of any data center. The natural frequencies computed by the present method are in good agreement with the element-free solutions of Zhao et al.
