Keywords: axial stress, energy concept

In this study, the behavior of elastic rectangular simply supported FGM plate under thermo-mechanical loads is investigated. At first, the analysis is done by the assumption of sinusoidal functions for displacements using CPT, FSDT and TSDT theories and then the final response is obtained through minimizing the total potential energy.
