Surface Elasticity Based Nonlocal Vibration Analysis of Bidirectional Functionally Graded Tapered Nanobeam

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
This work proposes a surface elasticity‐based nonlocal model for analyzing the vibrations of bi‐directionally graded tapered nanobeam. The results demonstrate that, in absence of surface effect, the increasing value of tapered parameter leads to stiffness‐hardening of the nanobeam. However, the consideration of surface effect changes this trend and the
