The material properties are assumed to be graded in the  thickness direction by a power-law distribution. Based on the third-order  shear deformation theory, the governing equations of motion are derived from  the Hamilton's principle. A parametric study is carried out to highlight the  effect of material distribution, stiffener parameters on the free  vibration characteristics of the plates.</p> ER -
