Abstract (EN): We use the global collocation method, the first and the third-order shear deformation plate theories, the Mori-Tanaka technique to homogenize material properties, and approximate the trial solution with multiquadric radial basis functions to analyze free vibrations of functionally graded plates. Frequencies computed by the present method are found to agree well with those from the analytical solution of Vel and Batra, and the numerical solution of Qian et al. based on the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin formulation.
