Abstract Analytical expressions have been derived for the through thickness stresses of a Functional graded materials (FGMs) thin plate subjected to thermal loading, pure bending and thermo-mechanical coupling, respectively. The structure is comprised of a metallic layer, a ceramic layer and a functional graded layer. Continuous gradation of the volume fraction in the FGM layer is modeled in the form of an "m" power polynomial of the coordinate axis in thickness direction of the plate. Numerical scheme of discretizing the continuous FGM layer with different graded distributions such as linear (m=1), quadratic (m=2) and square root More >
