This study concerns the dynamic behavior of composite beams gradually evaluated through the thickness materials. Our work is devoted to the analysis of natural frequencies of composite beams FGM used in building structures in civil engineering often subjected to vibration loads due to earthquakes. The vibration characteristics of specific beams such as free and orthotropic fixed beams are studied without including deformation due to shear and rotational inertia. We introduce the effects of transverse deformation due to shear and rotational inertia for the accurate prediction of normal frequencies. An application to carbon nanotubes was investigated.
