The nanotube is modeled ascylindrical shell which contains small scale effects by using the nonlocalstrain gradient theory. Material properties of the FG nanotube are assumed tobe variable along thickness direction according to power law distribution. TheHamilton’s principle is implemented to derive the governing equations andboundary conditions. The numerical results are presented for simply supportedFG nanotube and the influence of different parameters, such as nonlocalparameter, length scale parameter, length, thickness and power law index onfrequency of FG nanotube are extensively studied. The results reveal that thefrequency is significantly size dependent. CR - citation 1 UR - https://doi.org/10.24107/ijeas.309818 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/307532 ER -
