A Mathematical Model of Functionally Graded Materials Thin Plates and Levy Solutions

Abstract:

The governing equation of elastic FGM thin plates was obtained by degenerating the governing equation of viscoelastic FGM thin plates. A Levy solution of a simply supported FGM rectangular plate was gotten. Based on the Levy solution, the influence of considering and ignoring mid-plane stain, due to the inhomogeneous property of the functionally graded materials, on the static responses of the functionally graded materials thin plate is investigated.
