The bending analysis of thick and moderately thick functionally graded square and rectangular plates as well as plates on Winkler–Pasternak elastic foundation subjected to sinusoidal transverse load is presented in this paper. The plates are assumed to have isotropic, two-constituent material distribution through the thickness, and the modulus of elasticity of the plate is assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. This paper presents the methodology of the application of the high order shear deformation theory based on the shape functions. A new shape function has been developed and the obtained results are compared to the results obtained with 13 different shape functions presented in the literature. Also, the validity and accuracy of the developed theory was verified by comparing those results with the results obtained using the third order shear deformation theory and 3D theories. In order to determine the procedure for the analysis and the prediction of behavior of functionally graded plates, the new program code in the software package MATLAB has been developed based on the theories studied in this paper. The effects of transversal shear deformation, side-to-thickness ratio, and volume fraction distributions are studied and appropriate conclusions are given.
