  ABSTRACT: In this paper, effect of thermal gradient on vibration of trapezoidal plate of varying thickness is studied. Thermal effect and thickness variation is taken as linearly in x-direction. Rayleigh Ritz technique is used to calculate the fundamental frequencies. The frequencies corresponding to the first two modes of vibrations are obtained for a trapezoidal plate for different values of taper constant, thermal gradient and aspect ratio. Results are presented in graphical form.
