In this study, the free vibration behavior of rotating nanobeam is studied. Surface effects on the vibration frequencies of nanobeam are considered. To incorporate surface effects, Gurtin–Murdoch model is proposed to satisfy the surface balance equations of the continuum surface elasticity. Differential quadrature method is employed and in order to establish the accuracy and applicability of th...

Although the selective forces responsible for the evolution of mating systems and sexual size dimorphism have been the subjects of intensive research, most studies rely on data from only one or a few years (e.g., Clutton-Brock 1988). Temporal variation in the importance of alternative reproductive tactics, or in consequent selective pressures on behavior or morphology, has not been documented f...
