The P wave propagation in the functionally graded materials (FGM) is studied. The differential equation with varied-coefficient of wave motion in the FGM is established. By using of the WKBJ approximation method, the differential equation with varied-coefficient is solved, and the closed-analytical solutions of displacement in the FGM are obtained. The properties of the FGM whose shear modulus and mass density are gradually varying in exponential form are calculated; the curves of P wave velocity and amplitude, and the general properties of the P wave in the FGM are analyzed.

The crack tip fields for a cracked functionally graded materials spherical shell considering Reissners effect are obtained. Similar to Williams solution for homogeneous material, the eigen-solution of the crack tip field for bi-directional FGMs spherical shell is obtained by stress superposition principle. This result can be used to deal with the crack problems for FGMs shell.
