In this study, a theoretical unification of twenty-one nonlocal beam theories are presented by using a unified nonlocal beam theory. The small-scale effect is considered based on the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen. The present unified theory satisfies traction free boundary conditions at the top and bottom surface of the nanobeam and hence avoids the need of shearing correction factor. Hamilton’s principle is employed to derive the equations of motion. The present unified nonlocal formulation is applied for the bending, buckling and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams. The elastic properties of FG material vary continuously by gradually changing the volume fraction of the constituent materials in the thickness direction. Closed-form analytical solutions are obtained by using Navier’s solution technique. Non-dimensional displacements, stresses, natural frequencies and critical buckling loads for FG nanobeams are presented. The numerical results presented in this study can be served as a benchmark for future research.
