An analytical method is proposed for the nonlinear primary resonance analysis of cylindrical shells made of functionally graded (FG) porous materials subjected to a uniformly distributed harmonic load including the damping effect. The Young's modulus, shear modulus and density of porous materials are assumed to vary through the thickness direction based on the assumption of a common mechanical feature of the open-cell foam. Three types of FG porous distributions, namely symmetric porosity distribution, non-symmetric porosity stiff or soft distribution and uniform porosity distribution are considered in this paper. Theoretical formulations are derived based on Donnell shell theory (DST) and accounting for von-Kármán strain-displacement relation and damping effect. The first mode of deflection function that satisfies the boundary conditions is introduced into this nonlinear governing partial differential equation and then a Galerkin-based procedure is utilized to obtain a Duffing-type nonlinear ordinary differential equation with a cubic nonlinear term. Finally, the governing equation is solved analytically by conducting the method of multiple scales (MMS) which results in frequency-response curves of FG porous cylindrical shells in the presence of damping effect. The detailed parametric studies on porosity distribution, porosity coefficient, damping ratio, amplitude and frequency of the external harmonic excitation, aspect ratio and thickness ratio, shown that the distribution type of FG porous cylindrical shells significantly affects primary resonance behavior and the response presents a hardening-type nonlinearity, which provides a useful help for the design and optimize of FG porous shell-type devices working under external harmonic excitation.
