In the current study, for the first time, the size-dependent vibration of a functionally graded (FG) porous sandwich cylindrical microshell with magnetorheological fluid core is investigated using modified couple stress theory (MCST) and the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The microshell is made of FG porous material and for investigating the material properties, two types of porous distributions are considered. Based on FSDT and the MCST, the governing equations are derived using Hamilton's principle regarding the energy dissipation due to the shear deformation of the magnetorheological core layer and the interaction between all layers. Different assumptions, based on the continuity in transverse shear stresses and slope of in-plane displacements, are considered in the theoretical formulation. The natural frequency and loss factor of the microshell with sliding simply supported boundary conditions are determined using Navier's solution method. Finally, the influence of some parameters such as material length scale(l/h: 0-1), types of porous distributions (symmetric-asymmetric), porosity volume fraction (e0: 0-1), magnetic field intensity (B: 0-800) and aspect ratio (L/R: 1-8, R/h: 10-100) on the vibration damping characteristics of microshell, is investigated and validity of the results is studied.
