Functionally graded materials (FGM) are a class of composites, in which the properties of the material gradually change over one or more Cartesian directions, the combination of which results in an assembly with higher performance than components taken separately. This class of composite materials has gained considerable attention in the engineering community, especially in high-temperature applications such as nuclear reactors, aerospace, and power generation industries. The aim of the current work is to study the influence of homogenization (idealization) models and thermal loads on static deflection behavior of sandwich functionally graded plate. Several micromechanical models have been employed to obtain the effective material properties of the two-phase FGM plate. The FGM plate is subjected to linear and no linear thermal loads. The integral theory used contains only four variable functions as against five in the case of other HSDTs. The governing equation are derived and resolved via virtual work principle and Navier’s model. The accuracy of the proposed analytical model is confirmed by comparing the results with those given by others model existing in the literature.
