Popis: Three-dimensional elastic solution of a simply supported, transversely isotropic functionally graded rectangular plate is presented in this paper. Suppose that all elastic coefficients of the material have the same power-law dependence on the thickness coordinate. By introducing two new displacement functions, three equations of equilibrium in terms of displacements are reduced to two uncoupled partial differential equations. Exact solution for a second-order partial differential equation expressed by one of displacement functions is obtained and analytical solution for another fourth-order partial differential equation expressed by another displacement function is found by employing the Frobenius method. The validity of the present solution is first investigated. And the effect of the gradation of material properties on the mechanical behavior of the plate is studied through numerical examples.
