Using reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM), concentrically and eccentrically functionally graded stiffened plates (FGSPs) are analyzed based on first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The plates are subjected to uniformly distributed loads with simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. The interactions between the plate and stiffeners are imposed by compatibility equations. Metal-ceramic composition is assumed as the functionally graded material (FGM). Material properties vary through the thickness direction according to the power law of volume fraction. Mori-Tanaka scheme is used to obtain effective material properties. Poisson鈥檚 ratios of plates and stiffeners are taken to be constant. Full transformation approach is used to enforce essential boundary conditions. Effects of eccentricity of the stiffeners, dimensionless support domain parameter, dimensionless thickness, boundary conditions and the volume fractions of the constituents on the behavior of the stiffened plates are investigated.
