Abstract This paper studies wave propagation in functionally graded metal foam plates reinforced with graphene platelets (GPLs), where various types of porosity and GPL distribution are taken in account. The Halpin–Tsai model is employed to express the material properties of metal foam plates reinforced with GPLs. The governing equations of wave propagation in metal foam plates are derived by Hamilton's principle together with different plate theories, upon which wave dispersion relations in plates are achieved. Then, the validation of proposed model is examined by comparing the natural frequencies calculated in present study and those from literature. Finally, the effects of porosity and GPL distributions, porosity coefficient, GPL volume fraction and geometry on wave dispersion relations are evaluated.
