ABSTRACT
An improved model for assessing the material properties of porous sigmoid functionally graded (S-FGM) conical shells is introduced. Governing equations are derived within thin-shell theory, incorporating static hydraulic pressure, axial periodic loading, and a Winkler–Pasternak foundation. Critical frequencies and unstable regions are obtained via the Galerkin and Bolotin methods. Parametric studies show that the critical frequency decreases with higher porosity, half-vertex angle, or radius-thickness ratio, but increases with ceramic content or foundation stiffness. Porosity fraction and static axial loading notably affect instability regions, while hydraulic pressure has a negligible effect.
