Analysis of the bending of circular piezoelectric plates with functionally graded material properties by a MLPG method

► Plate bending analysis with functionally graded piezoelectric material properties. ► Mechanical and thermal loads with stationary and transient dynamic conditions. ► Axial symmetry of geometry and boundary conditions for a circular plate. ► Local integral equations on the axial cross section. ► Spatial approximation of the displacements, temperature and the electric potential by the moving least-squares (MLS) scheme.
