A meshless approach to the analysis of arbitrary Kirchhoff plates by the element-free Galerkin method is presented. The method is based on moving least squares approximant. The method is meshless, which means that the discretization is independent of the geometric subdivision into ``finite elements''. The requirements of consistency are met by the use of a quadratic polynomial basis.
