In this work, the buckling and vibrational behavior of the composite beam armed with single-walled carbonnanotubes (SW-CNT) resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation are investigated. The CNT-RC beam is modeled by anovel integral first order shear deformation theory. The current theory contains three variables and uses the shear correctionfactors. The equivalent properties of the CNT-RC beam are computed using the mixture rule. The equations of motion arederived and resolved by Applying the Hamilton’s principle and Navier solution on the current model. The accuracy of thecurrent model is verified by comparison studies with others models found in the literature. Also, several parametric studies andtheir discussions are presented.
