Size-dependent torsional and longitudinal free vibrations of restrained saturated porous nanorods
are studied by a higher-order elasticity theory. The strain gradient elasticity model is used in this study able to
overcome inconsistencies of classical elasticity model. The presented higher-order model leads to well-posed
boundary value problem for arbitrary value of the small size parameter. Two elastic springs in torsional and
axial directions are attached to saturated porous nanorods at two boundary points. Angular rotation and axial
deflection functions based on the strain gradient elasticity model are represented by two Fourier sine series. The
difference of this proposed solution is that it does not impose a limitation on the support conditions and allows
the frequencies to be obtained with a single solution. Two coefficient matrices including torsional or axial
effects are obtained by using Stokes’ transformation and non-classical boundary conditions. Free vibration
frequencies of saturated nanorods are calculated by an effective eigen-value solution strategy. It is shown
clearly that elastic spring coefficients, small-scale parameter and saturation a notable impact on the dynamic
response of nanorods.
