This review focuses mainly on the developments of element-free or meshless methods and their applications in the analysis of composite structures. This review is organized as follows: a brief introduction to shear deformation plate and shell theories for composite structures, covering the first-orde

## Abstract A numerical method is proposed for analysing transient waves in plates of functionally graded material (FGM) excited by impact loads. The material properties of the FGM plate have a gradient in the thickness direction and are anisotropic in the plane of the plate. In the present method,
Free and forced vibration analyses for initially stressed functionally graded plates in thermal environment are presented. Material properties are assumed to be temperature dependent, and graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions
