Abstract: Deformation behavior of functionally graded bio- composite plate structures subjected to uniform pressure are examined and presented. Here, biocompatible metals/alloys and ceramics are utilized as constituent materials throughout in the analysis. The material properties of functionally graded bio- composite plate are evaluated through power-law distribution based Voigt’s micromechanical scheme. The displacement field is defined in third-order shear deformation mid-plane kinematics. However, the motion equations are governed by minimizing total potential energy. The deflection responses are obtained in finite element framework using nine noded quadrilateral element. To confirm the correctness of the present finite element model, the present results are compared with the reported results. In addition, various numerical illustrations are demonstrated to exhibit the significance of different geometrical and material parameters on the deformation behaviour of functionally graded bio-composite plate structure, and discussed in detail.
