In this paper, elastic analysis for an edge-cracked plate of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is carried out. The cracked plate is subject to a longitudinal tension. The property of FGMs is assumed to be exponential function form in both x- and y-directions. The finite element method is suggeste...
