Eigenfrequencies of a nanobeam with a point mass interacting with a heavy fluid are calculated using Bernoulli-Euler kinematics and consistent nonlocal elasticity model. The proposed approach is applicable to a variety of nanotechnology materials and structures, especially mass nanosensors. Eigenfrequencies are compared with those of local theory and conclusions are drawn. Influence of nonlocal effects, heavy fluid interaction and added point mass on dynamic responses is analyzed and the results are documented. Size phenomena are noted and discussed.
