In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of clamped-clamped silicon microbeam subjected to electrostatic excitation and mechanical shock is investigated. The Euler-Bernoulli beam model based on the modified couple stress theory with von Kármán geometric non-linearity is utilized in theoretical formulation. Afterwards, squeeze-film damping effects of microstructures for small amplitude vibrati...

This paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. The two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number. The exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave...

Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) peristaltic flow of a Couple Stress Fluid through a permeable channel is examined in this investigation. The flow analysis is performed in the presence of an External Magnetic Field. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach is implemented. Mathematical expressions of axial velocity, pressure gradient and volume flow rate are obtained. Pressure rise, frictional f...

In this paper the reflection and transmission at a plane interface between two different couple stress generalized thermoelastic solid half spaces in context of Loard-Shulman(LS)[1967] and Green-Lindsay(GL)[1972] theories in welded contact has been investigated. Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained due to incidence of a set of coupled longitudinal waves and c...

Size-dependent behaviours of metal foam microbeams with three different porosity distribution models are studied in this paper. Based on the finite element model, a normal and shear deformation theory has been employed for first time to investigate their structural by using modified strain gradient considering effects variable material length scale parameter. The equations motion boundary condi...
