Thermal Induced vibration of such plates has been taken as one dimensional temperature distribution in linear from only. For non-homogeneity of the plate material, density is assumed to vary linearly .Using the method of separation of variables; the governing differential equation is solved. An approximate but quite convenient frequency equation is derived by Rayleigh-Ritz technique with two term deflection function. The frequencies corresponding to the first two modes of vibration has been computed for a clamped parallelogram plate for different values of non -homogeneity constant, aspect ratio, thermal constant, taper constant and skew angle. <strong></strong></p> ER -
