We present some numerical results for the linear dynamics of nanobeams modulated by an axial
force, basing on a recent proposal of literature that encompasses both the standard nonlocal elasticity,
according to Eringen, and second-order strain elasticity. Three different possibilities for the
elastic potential energy provide different responses that highlight the contributions of nonlocality
and strain gradient, plus their combination. An axial force affects the linear stationary dynamics
of such nanobeams, inducing suitable variation of the natural angular frequencies for benchmark
cases, until static buckling occurs when the natural angular frequency vanishes. Effects of the
various elastic potentials on this modulation are investigated and thoroughly commented.
