Using Hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing differential equations are derived. The governing equations and the related boundary conditions are discretized by using the differential quadrature method (DQM). The numerical results are obtained for both free and forced vibration of piezoelectric nanowires. The present results are validated by available results in the literature. The effects of the nonlocal parameter together with the other parameters such as residual surface stress, temperature change and external electric voltage on the size-dependent forced vibration of the piezoelectric nanowires are studied. It is shown that the nonlocal effect (small scale effect) plays a prominent role in the forced vibration of piezoelectric nanowires and this effect cannot be neglected for small external characteristic lengths.
