Abstract (EN): In this study trigonometric layerwise deformation theory is used for the analysis of free vibration of symmetric composite plates. A meshless discretization method based on global multiquadric radial basis functions is used. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are derived and interpolated by radial basis functions. This method is applied to the free vibration analysis of composite and sandwich plates. The results are then compared with analytical and numerical solutions. The results show that the use of trigonometric layerwise deformation theory discretized with multiquadrics provides very good solutions for the free vibration of composite and sandwich plates.
