Abstract
A Closed-form solution for dynamic response of a functionally graded (FG) nonlocal nanobeam due to action of
moving harmonic load is presented in this paper. Due to analyzing in small scale, a nonlocal elasticity theory is utilized. The
governing equation and boundary conditions are derived based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and Hamilton's principle.
The material properties vary through the thickness direction. The harmonic moving load is modeled by Delta function and the
FG nanobeam is simply supported. Using the Laplace transform the dynamic response is obtained. The effect of important
parameters such as excitation frequency, the velocity of the moving load, the power index law of FG material and the nonlocal
parameter is analyzed. To validate, the results were compared with previous literature, which showed an excellent agreement.
