A closed form analytical solution to the static analysis of functionally graded (FGM) plates based on a higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT), is presented. The boundary-discontinuous generalized double Fourier series approach is used to solve a system of highly coupled linear partial differential equations; generated by the higher order-based analysis with the mixed type simply supported boundary conditions prescribed at all the edges. The mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary in the thickness direction according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. A comparison of the present results of isotropic plates is made with the finite element solutions to verify the present solution and they are in good agreement with the present results.
