TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient and simple higher order shear and normal deformation theory is presented for functionally graded material (FGM) plates, which accounts for both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by a hyperbolic variation of all displacements across the thickness.

TL;DR: In this paper, a refined trigonometric shear deformation theory (RTSDT) is presented for the thermoelastic bending analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates, where the displacement components are expressed by trigonometrical series representation through the plate thickness to develop a two-dimensional theory and gives rise to transverse shear stress variation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new quasi-three-dimensional (3D) hyperbolic shear deformation theory for the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded plates is developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, various higher-order shear deformation plate theories for wave propagation in functionally graded plates are developed, which have fewer number of unknowns and equations of motion than the first-order deformation theory, but accounts for the transverse shear deformations without requiring shear correction factors.

TL;DR: In this article, the bending response of functionally graded material (FGM) plate resting on elastic foundation and subjected to hygro-thermo-mechanical loading is studied using a four variable refined plate theory, both a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness and the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate are satisfied without using shear correction factors.
