The area of the nanobeam cross section is assumed to change linearly. The problem has been formulated using the nonlocal Eringen elasticity theory and it was solved by a pseudo spectral collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials. The effect of the nonlocal small scale, angular speed, nonuniformity of the sec tion and hub radius on the vibration behavior of the nanocantilever is discussed.application/pdfeng© ElsevierNonlocal elasticityFree vibrationsRotationSmall scale effectsresearch articleIngeniería MecánicaIngeniería Industrial10.1016/j.compstruct.2012.03.033open access299093001Composite Structures94
