AB  - A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is applied to solve thermal bending problems described by the Reissner-Mindlin theory. Functionally graded material properties with continuous variation in the plate thickness direction are considered too. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations in the Reissner-Mindlin theory is transformed into local integral equations on local subdomains in the mean surface of the plate with using a unit test function. The meshless approximation based on the Moving Least-Squares (MLS) method is employed for the implementation.
