It is provided that the plate material behaves rigid perfectly plastic and obeys either the Square or the Tresca yield criterion. To this end the upper and lower bound principles of limit analysis are employed to determine the exact value for the limiting load. The correctness of the result are verified and finally limiting loads for two examples namely; through radius and through thickness FGM circular plates with simply supported edges are calculated, respectively and moreover, the values of critical loading factor are determined.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {12}, year = {2007}, pages = {719 - 724}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/4418}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/12}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 12, 2007}, }
