The flexural analysis of doubly curved functionally graded porous conoids was performed in the present paper. The porosities inside functionally graded materials (FGMs) can occur during the fabrication and lead to the occurrence of micro-voids in the materials. The mathematical model includes expansion of Taylor’s series up to the third degree in thickness coordinate and normal curvatures in in-plane displacement fields. Since there is a parabolic variation in transverse shear strain deformation across the thickness coordinate, the shear correction factor is not necessary. The condition of zero-transverse shear strain at upper and lower surface of conoidal shell is implemented in the present model. The improvement in the 2D mathematical model enables to solve problems of moderately thick FGM porous conoids. The distinguishing feature of the present shell from the other shells is that maximum transverse deflection does not occur at its centre. The improved mathematical model was implemented in finite element code written in FORTRAN. The obtained numerical results were compared with the results available in the literature. Once validated, the current model was employed to study the effect of porosity, boundary condition, volume fraction index, loading pattern and others geometric parameters.
