Peristaltic flow of couple stress fluids is studied here in a finite length channel. The analysis is carried out under the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. When the couple stress parameter increases, it is found that pressure diminishes, maximum averaged flow rate increases, mechanical efficiency decreases, area experiencing reflux reduces, and trapped bolus...

Abstract Vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) microbeams carrying a moving mass is carried out in the framework Timoshenko beam theory. The material properties are considered to be thickness by power-law function, and they estimated Mori-Tanaka scheme. influence microsize effect captured with aid modified couple stress theory (MCST). A finite element formulated used establish discreti...

Characteristic features of squeeze film lubrication between two rectangular plates, of which, the upper plate has a roughness structure, in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field are examined. The fluid in the film region is represented by a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting couple-stress fluid. The thickness of the fluid film region is h and that of the roughness...

the aim of this study is to explore the impact of choice theory and reality therapy interventions on couples` marital satisfaction. this study applied the single - subject method with ab design. the participants of the study were two couples who were selected as a purposeful sample to participate at the intervention program of 8 sessions of training of choice theory and reality therapy. in orde...

INTRODUCTION For many donor-conceiving heterosexual parents, the process of deciding whether and what to tell children about their genetic origin is challenging. We hypothesized that incomplete couple agreement about disclosure could be associated with parenting stress. The aim of the study was to investigate: (1) parenting stress levels among heterosexual parents of young children following ga...
