Abstract
In this paper, the static responses of metal and ceramic functionally graded plates subjectto thermal and mechanical loads are investigated. The first-order shear deformation platetheory is adopted, and the displacement field is expressed in terms of a set of mesh-freekernel particle functions. It is assumed that the material property of each plateexponentially varies through the thickness. The governing equations are solved to obtainthe plate displacements and axial stresses using the element-free kp-Ritz method.The effects of the volume fraction, material property, boundary conditions andlength-to-thickness ratio on the plate deflection and axial stress are discussed in detail. Thenumerical results generated from the proposed method agree well with those in theliterature.
