Plate thick- ness varies parabolically in both directions. Using Rayleigh Ritz approach, frequency parameter and two term deflection function is calculated for diverse values of taper constants. For the best comprehension of the vibration analysis, results are depicted graphically. Keywords: Vibration, Non-Homogeneous, Plate, Thickness, Deflection Function, Taper Constants 1. Introduction rences of Tsunami, earthquake, collapse of structures are few such most common devastating effects of vibration. Thus the study of vibration responses in advance is of immense importance for sustainable and positive effects of vibrations for the well being of humans. Study of vibration responses of plate has always been a principal concern for design engineers. These plates are used in numerous industries for the construction of in- numerable vital structures and devices, such as space shuttles, rockets, air craft’s, shafts, plate heat exchanger and many more. Satellite antenna booms are used in space as electric field or gravity-gradient probes. Heated by sunlight, a temperature gradient is built up across the cross-section. The thermal strain produces bending and torsion of the boom. Due to the twist the direction of the sunlight changes with respect to the cross-se
