The paper is concerned with quasi-static deformation processes of elastic-plastic FGM structures. It is assumed that the structures undergo small strain and the material properties of the graded layer are modeled by the modified rule of mixtures approximation. The elastic domain for ductile phases is defined through the Von Mises yield criterion. The mathematical problem consists of a variational equation that represents the equilibrium of the body and a variational inequality expressing the plastic strain rate evolution. An iterative method for solving this nonlinear system, combining a finite element approximation and an incremental-iterative scheme, is proposed. The results of some numerical experiments comparing the plastic response of tubes with abrupt transition to different configurations obtained using smooth transitions containing FGM layers between the two dissimilar materials are provided.
