This work studies the dynamic response of Bernoulli-Euler multilayered polymer functionally graded carbon nanotubes-reinforced composite nano-beams subjected to hygro-thermal environments. The governing equations were derived by employing Hamilton's principle on the basis of the local/nonlocal stress gradient theory of elasticity (L/NStressG). A Wolfram language code in Mathematica was written to carry out a parametric investigation on the influence of different parameters on their dynamic response, such as the nonlocal parameter, the gradient length parameter, the mixture parameter and the hygro-thermal loadings and the total volume fraction of CNTs for different functionally graded distribution schemes. It is shown how the proposed approach is able to capture the dynamic behavior of multilayered polymer FG-CNTRC nano-beams under hygro-thermal environments.
