TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear behaviors of functionally graded material (FGM) plates under transverse distributed load are investigated using a high precision plate bending finite element. And the effective material properties are then evaluated based on the rule of mixture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the linear free flexural vibrations of functionally graded material plates with a through center crack were studied using an 8-noded shear flexible element, where the material properties were assumed to be temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction.
