In this study, it is aimed to analyze the bending of porous sandwich plates using the four-variable shear deformation theory. Tlie core of the sandwich plate is assumed to be functionally graded, and face sheets are assumed to be isotropic. The pore distribution of the sandwich plate is considered even and uneven type of porosity distribution. Displacement fields are defined with four variable shear deformation theory Equilibrium equations of porous sandwich plates are derived from virtual displacement principle. A11 analytical solution is obtained by Naviers approach. Results are presented for uniformly and sinusoidally distributed loaded porous sandwich plates. Face sheet-core thickness ratio, porosity distribution, amount of porosity is investigated.
