A new mixed four-node quadrilateral element (MiQ4) is established in this paper to investigate functionally graded material (FGM) plates with variable thickness. The proposed element is developed based on the first-order shear deformation and mixed finite element technique, so the new element does not need any selective or reduced numerical integration. Numerous basic tests have been carried out to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the proposed element. Besides, the numerical examples show that the present element is free of shear locking and is insensitive to the mesh distortion, especially for the case of very thin plates. The present element can be applied to analyze plates with arbitrary geometries; it leads to reducing the computation cost. Several parameter studies are performed to show the roles of some parameters such as the power-law index, side-to-thickness ratio, boundary conditions (BCs), and variation of the plate thickness on the static bending behavior of the FGM plates.
