Description The carbon nanotube was discovered by Iijima in 1991. This invention made a new era in nanotechnology research. Because of its high mechanical strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, carbon nanotubes are superior than any other materials. The molecular simulation or atomic models are very successful in nanostructure analysis due to the growth of supercomputer and cluster technology. But the computational cost is expensive. The classical continuum model has not account for nonlocal effects. So the nonlocal continuum theory was proposed by Eringen for the analysis of nanotube as the alternative method for molecular dynamic simulation because of its easy analysis of implementation and computational effort. The small scale effects on carbon nanotube are successfully studied using continuum model and nonlocal elasticity theory by researchers. The nonlocal Timoshenko beam models are used to analyze the vibration behavior of carbon nanotube with shear deformation effects1. The dynamic behavior of a single-walled carbon nanotube has been studied with nonlocal continuum elasticity models using differential transform method. By using Differential Transformation Method (DTM), the closed form series solution or an approximate solution can be obtained for the differential equation. The present semi-analytical technique analyses the nonlocal Timoshenko frequency for various boundary conditions and compares with the analytical solutions and very good results have been achieved. The small scale effect on vibration frequency has been examined for the effects of transverse shear deformation using nonlocal Timoshenko model
