Summary:In this study, the resultant forces and moments acting on infinite symmetric FGPs with a triangular hole subject to uniaxial tensile load were examined via an analytical method using the complex variable approach. The mechanical properties of graded plates are hypothesized to vary throughout the thickness exponentially. The impact of various factors, namely hole orientation, hole aspect ratio as well as the hole corner curve on stress distribution and moment resultants is considered. In order to approve the credibility of the analytical approach, its outcomes are compared to numerical results acquired from ABAQUS finite element modeling. This comparison showed a favorable agreement level among the acquired analytical and numerical outcomes. Based on these results, the mentioned factors entail a considerable effect on the distribution of resultant forces and moments at the proximity of the hole and the load bearing tolerance of functional grated plates with holes may be enhanced by suitable selection of the aforementioned parameters.
