Abstract: According to the concept of neutral surface, the basic equation for geometric nonlinear static bending of functionally graded material (FGM) plates was established. By Ritz method, the effects of gradient index and material properties taking into account of the geometric nonlinear on bending deformation of FGM plates were analyzed. Also,the variation of deformation control was explored when FGM plates were subjected to different electric fields.The accuracy of the present equation and method is verified by comparing them with known results. The static deformation of FGM plates was solved by the geometric nonlinear equation. Analysis results show that the difference increases with the increase of neutral axis shift. The neutral surface should be considered when using piezoelectric material to control the deformation of FGM plates.
