In this paper, free vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams based on third-order shear deformation beam theory are investigated by presenting a Navier-type solution. Material properties of FG nanobeam are supposed to change continuously along the thickness according to the power-law form. The effect of small scale is considered based on nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. Through Hamilton's principle and third-order shear deformation beam theory, the nonlocal governing equations are derived and they are solved applying analytical solution. According to the numerical results, it is revealed that the proposed modeling can provide accurate frequency results for FG nanobeams as compared to some cases in the literature. The numerical investigations are presented to investigate the effect of the several parameters such as material distribution profile, small-scale effects, slenderness ratio and mode number on vibrational response of the FG nanobeams in detail. It is concluded that various factors such as nonlocal parameter and gradient index play notable roles in vibrational response of FG nanobeams.
