  ABSTRACT: Thermal buckling response of functionally graded plates is presented in this paper using sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory (SPT). The material properties of the plate are assumed to vary according to a power law form in the thickness direction. Equilibrium and stability equations are derived based on the SPT. The non-linear governing equations are solved for plates subjected to simply supported boundary conditions. The buckling analysis of a functionally graded plate under various types of thermal loads is carried out. The influences of many plate parameters on buckling temperature difference will be investigated. Numerical results are presented for the SPT, demonstrating its importance and accuracy in comparison to other theories.
