Abstract This is the first research on the nonlinear vibration of smart viscoelastic composite doubly curved sandwich shell with flexible core and MR layers with different distribution patterns. By using Reddy's third order shear deformation theory (TSDT), the strains and stresses are obtained. This smart model including multiscale composite layers, flexible core and magnetorheological layer (MR). According to the Halpin-Tsai model three-phase composites layers have been considered. The governing equations of the multiscale doubly curved shell have been derived by implementing the Hamilton's principle. For investigating correctness and accuracy, this paper is validated by other previous studies. The results of this work are validated through the comparison with the results available researches. Finally, the influence of different parameters such as temperature rise, various distributions pattern, magnetic fields, and curvature ratios on nonlinear frequency response are investigated in the details. The results presented that the multiscale doubly curved sandwich shell with flexible core show a complex behavior.
