    In this study, we have introduced, for the first time, a novel integral quasi-3D higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) employing a third-order shape function. This approach is employed to analyze the free vibration characteristics of a cracked porous functionally graded material (FGM) beam supported on a three-parameter elastic foundation (Winkler/Pasternak/Kerr). This new Quasi HSDT introduces a stretching effect that surpasses the capabilities of FSDT and other HDST. The employed shape function satisfies the conditions of shear stress nullity at both the higher and lower facets without the need for correction factors. The study incorporates a mathematical model representing Winkler/Pasternak/Kerr foundation types into the Hamiltonian to derive the equations of motion. The FGM beam studied in this paper is assumed to be composed of materials with a distribution that varies according to a power law along its height. Our results are compared with previous studies and we reinforce our findings with a parametric study assessing the impact of crack attributes on the natural frequencies of the FG plate. This study presents an advanced integral quasi-3D HSDT, applied for the first time, to analyze the behavior of FG beams resting on a three-parameter foundation.
