A thermal buckling analysis of functionally graded thick rectangular plates on an elastic foundation is presented. The foundation is described by the Pasternak model. The formulation is based on a higher-order hyperbolic shear deformation theory. Two types of thermal loading, uniform temperature rise and graded temperature change across the thickness of the plates are considered, and their equilibrium and stability equations are obtained. The accuracy of the formulation presented is verified by comparing the results of numerical examples with data available in the literature.
