This article analyzes the bending behavior of functionally graded sandwich plate structures submitted to sinusoidal loads using the hyperbolic quasi-3D shear deformation plate theory. In this theory, the number of unknowns is reduced from six to only five unknowns using an undefined integral without needing any shear correction factor. Furthermore, the effective constituent material properties of the upper and lower layers of the functionally graded sandwich plate are assumed to vary smoothly and continuously only in the thickness direction. In contrast, the core layer is still homogeneous and isotropic. The governing equilibrium equations of simply supported functionally graded sandwich plates are derived using the principle of virtual displacement. Their analytical solution is obtained using Navier’s technique for various schemas of functionally graded sandwich plates. The effects of the power law index, side-to-thickness ratio, and aspect ratio on the bending behavior are investigated.
