Functionally graded material is of great importance in many engineering problems. Here the effect of multiple random inclusions in functionally graded material (FGM) is investigated in this paper. Since the geometry of entire model becomes complicated when many inclusions with different sizes appearing in the body, a methodology to model those inclusions without meshing the internal boundaries is proposed. The numerical method couples the level set method to the extended finite-element method (X-FEM). In the X-FEM, the finite-element approximation is enriched by additional functions through the notion of partition of unity. The level set method is used for representing the location of random inclusions. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and potential of this technique. The obtained results are compared with available refered results and COMSOL, the finite element method software.
