The present work aims at investigating the vibrational characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on the gradient elasticity theories. The small-size effect, which plays an essential role in the dynamical behavior of nanotubes, is captured by applying different gradient elasticity theories including stress, strain and combined strain/inertia ones. The theoretical formulations are established based upon both the Euler-Bernoulli and the Timoshenko beam theories. To validate the accuracy of the present analysis, molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations are also conducted for an armchair SWCNTs with different aspect ratios. Comparisons are made between the aforementioned different gradient theories as well as different beam assumptions in predicting the free vibration response. It is shown that implementation of the strain gradient elasticity by incorporating inertia gradients yields more reliable results especially for shorter length SWCNTs on account of two small scale factors corresponding to the inertia and strain gradients. Also, the difference between two beam models is more prominent for low aspect ratios and the Timoshenko beam model demonstrates a closer agreement with MD results. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
