In this article, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Navier’s solution are used to establish analytical solutions for analyzing the deflection and stresses of FGM sandwich plate structures resting on a Pasternak elastic foundation. The top and bottom layers consist of functionally graded materials (P-FGM) that vary according to the exponential law along the thickness direction, while the core layer is composed of a porous material. The boundary condition of the plate is simply supported on all the edges, and the plate is subjected to a sinusoidal distributed load perpendicular to the mid-surface. The reliability of the model is validated through comparison with findings published in reputable journals. The effects of material parameters, geometric dimensions, foundation coefficients, and face-core-face thickness ratios on deflection and stress components of rectangular FGM sandwich plates are investigated in detail in parametric studies.
