In this paper, an exact solution for the equation of two-dimensional transient heat conduction in a hollow sphere made of functionally graded material (FGM) and piezoelectric layers is developed. Transient temperature distribution, as a function of radial and circumferential directions and time with general thermal boundary conditions on the inside and outside surfaces, is analytically obtained for different layers, using the method of separation of variables and Legendre series. The results are the sum of transient and steady-state solutions that depend upon the initial condition for temperature and heat source, respectively. The FGM properties are assumed to depend on the variable r and they are expressed as power functions of r.
