    The paper presents a visualization of the contact interaction of two Bernoulli-Euler nanobeams connected through boundary
conditions. Mathematical models of beams are based on the gradient deformation theory and the theory of contact interaction of
B. Y. Cantor. The visualization is based on Fourier transform and wavelet transform, phase portrait.
    Keywords: Bernoulli-Euler nanobeam, gradient deformation theory, contact problem, Fourier transform, wavelet.

question are not in the phase synchronization mode, their
behavior is asynchronous on all time scales. As soon as any of
the time scales of the considered dynamic systems are
synchronized, the phase synchronization mode arises.
Obviously, the time scales that have the maximum power of the        2c)         Fourier    2d) Wavelet            2e) Phase portrait

account the theory of higher order for the study of NEMS
elements in the form of beams is shown. The visualization of
contact interaction characters based on the wavelet transform,
both for studying phase chaotic synchronization and for
studying changes in the oscillation spectrum over time, allows
us to more fully consider various aspects of contact interaction.
