Abstract :Bending of microtubules due to a point load has been investigated by using Euler Bernoulli beam theory.The governing equations are derived based on Hamilton’s principle. The size effect is taken into consideration using the Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. Some parametric results have been presented for nonlocal beam
