(MC-RBF) to analyze the free and forced vibration of functionally graded plates. We used the
first-order shear deformation plate theory for the displacements and strains. The governing
equations are discretized via the MC-RBF method to obtain the natural frequencies. We
suggested a new algorithm (modified LOOCV) to acquire the shape parameters of the radial
basis function in the free and forced vibration problems. The discretized equations are …
