Abstract
The present article aims to develop a finite element formulation for FGM plates carrying concentrated and distributed mass. First-order shear deformation theory with consideration of physical neutral surface has been employed. Nine noded isoparametric element with five degrees of freedom at each node is used for this finite element analysis. To understand the effect of grading pattern under overhead mass carrying conditions, three types of FGMs have been analyzed. The effect of non-dimensional parameters such as aspect ratio, thickness ratio, power index, the intensity of mass etc. are extensively studied. It will bring new insights to the field of FGM structures.
