The present paper, deals with free vibration of functionally graded fiber orientation (FO) rectangular plates considering temperature effect. Three different types of fiber orientation distributions through the thickness of plate are proposed. The properties of plate are assumed to be temperature-dependent. Equations of motions are derived based on three dimensional theory of elasticity. General differential quadrature method is used to discretize these equations. Effects of temperature, fiber orientation, boundary conditions besides some geometric parameters are presented. Also some interesting conclusions are obtained since temperature and functionality of FG plate have significant effect on the natural frequency of the plate.
