Nonlocal constitutive equations of Eringen are used in the formulations After deriving governing equations. different beam theories including those of Euler-Bernoulli. Timoshenko, Reddy, Levinson and Aydogdu [Compos Struct., 89 (2009) 94] are used as a special case in the present compact formulation without repeating derivation of governing equations each time Effect of nonlocality and length of beams are investigated in detail for each considered problem. Present Solutions can be used for the static and dynamic analyses of single-walled carbon nanotubes (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
