Abstract

Abstract This paper deals with the bending analysis of exponentially graded material (EGM) plates resting on two-parameter elastic foundations according to a trigonometric shear deformation plate theory (TPT) using Navier’s technique. The normal and shear deformations are both includes. The present TPT does not need a shear correction factors. The material properties of plate like, Lamé’s coefficients convert exponentially in a given constant orientation. The equilibrium equations according to the EG plate resting on Pasternak foundations are presented. Numerical results for the EG thick plate on elastic foundations are presented. A good comparison of results with those being in the literature. The influences played by Winkler and Pasternak parameters, side-to-thickness ratio, inhomogeneity parameter and aspect ratio on the bending responses of EG plates are debated.
