In this paper, an efficient computational approach is developed to investigate the free-vibration behavior of functionally graded plates. The problem is developed based on a three-dimensional elasticity theory, which is expected to capture the structural response accurately. Isogeometric analysis is employed as a discretion tool to solve the problems. The accuracy of the proposed approach is verified by comparing the obtained results with those available in the literature. In addition, various examples are also presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. There are five types of plates with different configurations of material gradations. The benchmark results for those are also given for future investigations. Keywords: multi-directional functionally graded materials; 3D elasticity; isogeometric analysis; free-vibration.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have mechanical properties that vary continuously from one phase to another within a confined volume. In general, these materials exhibit certain amount of scatter in their properties due to different factors. The dispersion in the response values of a structure is due to the scatter in the values of material properties and applied external load. For design purposes, it is essential to know the potential variations in the structural response due to the system material or external randomness. In the present work, free vibration and static analysis on FGM structures with material randomness are considered.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are novel materials whose properties change gradually with respect to their dimensions. It is the advanced development of formerly used composite materials and consists of two or more materials in order to achieve the desired properties according to the application where an FGM is used. FGMs have obtained a great attention of researchers in the past decade due to their graded properties at every single point in various dimensions. The properties of an FGM are not identical to the materials that constitute it. This paper aims to present an overview of the existing literature on stability, buckling, and free vibration analysis of FGM carried out by numerous authors in the past decade. Moreover, the analyses of mathematical models adopted for the aforementioned analyses are not the core purpose of this paper. At the end, future work is also suggested in this review paper.
