The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the axisymmetric bending response of functionally graded porous (FGP) circular plates. The material properties are changed continuously in the thickness direction of the plate. Three distinct porosity distributions uniform, symmetric and monolithic are employed. The effect of porosity on the axisymmetric bending analysis of circular plates is examined parametrically. In this study, clamped and roller supports which commonly serve to achieve ideal boundary conditions in numerous engineering applications are used. The finite element method is employed for numerical analysis. The principal of the potential energy is used to obtain the governing equations. To generate the model of the FGP circular plates, an eight-node quadratic quadrilateral element with two degrees of freedom on each node is utilized. The results of this study are confirmed by the existing published literature. A good agreement between the results of the presented model and the previous literature has been observed. The results of the present study show that plate deflection increases with the increase of the porosity coefficient and the ratio of radius to thickness of circular plates. By increasing the porosity coefficient, the displacement values of the plates made of uniform porosity distribution is effected more than those of other porosity distributions.
