In the present study, a novel exact closed-form procedure based on the third order shear deformation plate theory is developed to analyze in-plane and out-of-plane frequency responses of circular/annular functionally graded material (FGM) plates embedded in piezoelectric layers for both close/open circuit electrical boundary conditions. Introducing a new analytical method, five governing partial deferential equations of motion beside Maxwell electrostatic equation are solved via an exact closed-form method. The high accuracy and reliability of the present approach is confirmed by comparing some of the present data with their counterparts reported in the literature. Finally, the effect of material properties, power law index and boundary conditions on the free vibration of the smart FGM plate are studied and discussed in detail.
