Assuming the exponential attenuation kernel in the nonlocal integral models, the integro-differential equation corresponding to the two-phase nonlocal model is reduced to a fourth-order differential equation with additional boundary conditions, taking into account nonlocal effects in the neighbourhood of the rod ends. Exact analytical and asymptotic solutions of boundary-value problems are constructed. Formulas for natural frequencies and associated modes found in the framework of the purely nonlocal model and its ¡®equivalent¡¯ differential analogue are also compared. A detailed analysis of solutions suggests that the purely nonlocal and differential models lead to ill-posed problems %K Asymptotic method %K free longitudinal vibrations %K nanorod %K natural frequencies %K two-phase integral model %K Eringen¡¯s nonlocal elasticity %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1081286518785942
