In this work, we aim to study free vibration of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) cylindrical nanoshells with nano-voids. The present model incorporates the small scale effect and thermo-electro-mechanical loading. Two types of porosity distribution, namely, even and uneven distributions, are considered. Based on Love's shell theory and the nonlocal elasticity theory, governing equations and corresponding boundary conditions are established through Hamilton's principle. Then, natural frequencies of FGPM nanoshells with nano-voids under different boundary conditions are analyzed by employing the Navier method and the Galerkin method. The present results are verified by the comparison with the published ones. Finally, an extensive parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of the external electric potential, the nonlocal parameter, the volume fraction of nano-voids, the temperature rise on the vibration of porous FGPM cylindrical nanoshells.
