Abstract
We present a nonlinear finite element analysis to investigate the nonlinear behaviour of functionally graded materials (FGM) plates. The material properties are assumed to vary gradually across the thickness according to a power law distribution. The starting point of the investigation is the generalized third-order plate theory which is modified in the present analysis to include the position of the neutral surface and enhanced with additional terms to represent the distribution stresses better. The plates are subjected to bending and compression loads including buckling and post-buckling analysis.
