Abstract
The major novelty of the article is an application of a two-variable refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory based on studying the bending behavior of functionally graded material (FGM) plates with simply-supported edges. The influence of variating material characteristics and volume fraction of the constituent on bending behavior of the FG plate is examined. The advantage of this theory over other contributions is that a number of functional variables is reduced. All presented problems that have been solved previously, but have not studied the effect on changing plate characteristics, material composition are reinvented.
