Bending response of FGM plate under sinusoidal Line Load

ABSTRACT Functionally graded materials plate made of alumina and aluminum is considered for the analysis. The governing differ equation of the plate is obtained using energy principle. Multiquadric radial basic function is applied for discreatization of the equation. The MATLAB code is developed to find out the solution. Effect of gradation index, span to thickness ratio on deflection moments and stresses are carried out under sinusoidal line load .The present results are new and may be used for validation in future.
