this article deals with the study of the two-dimensional mixed convection magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) boundary layer of stagnation-point flow over a stretching vertical plate in porous medium filled with a nanofluid. the model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of brownian motion and thermophoresis in the presence of thermal radiation. the skin-friction coefficient, nusselt number an...

Stretching before performance is a common practice among athletes in hopes of increasing performance and reducing the risk of injury. However, cumulative results indicate a negative impact of static stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on performance; thus, there is a need for evaluating other stretching strategies for effective warm-up. The purpose of this study was t...

The wrinkling of a thin elastic bi-annular plate with piecewise-constant mechanical properties, subjected to radial stretching, is considered. The critical wrinkling stretching loading and the corresponding wrinkling patterns are extensively investigated, together with the roles played by both the geometrical and mechanical parameters. Keywords—bi-annular plate, wrinkling pattern, critical stre...

Stretching is often included as part of a warm-up procedure for basketball activity. However, the efficacy of stretching with respect to sport performance has come into question. We determined the effects of 4 different warm-up protocols followed by 20 minutes of basketball activity on flexibility and vertical jump height. Subjects participated in 6 weeks (2 times per week) of warm-up and baske...

The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of static stretching on vertical jump in trained male athletes. 25 healthy male athletes (age: 20.8 ± 2.3 years) who were National league 1 and 2, basketball, volleyball and handball players participated in the study. Subjects performed a 5 minute warm up followed by each of the following three stretching conditions on separate days wit...

The transmission of high-frequency shear stress through a microscopic contact between an AFM tip and an oscillating quartz plate was measured as a function of vertical pressure, amplitude, and surface properties by monitoring the MHz component of the tip's deflection. For dry surfaces, the transmission of shear stress is proportional to the vertical load across the contact. This provides a meas...

The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of different modes of stretching on vertical jump performance. Eighteen male university students (age, 24.3 +/- 3.2 years; height, 181.5 +/- 11.4 cm; body mass, 78.1 +/- 6.4 kg; mean +/- SD) completed 4 different conditions in a randomized order, on different days, interspersed by a minimum of 72 hours of rest. Each session consisted of...

An analysis of unsteady MHD flow of an electrically conducting visco-elastic fluid confined between two horizontal parallel non conducting plates in presence of a transverse magnetic field and Hall current is presented. The lower plate is a stretching sheet while the upper one is an oscillating porous plate, which is oscillating in its own plane. The motion of the fluid is produced by the stret...

mhd boundary layer flow of two phase model nanofluid over a vertical plate is investigated both analytically and numerically. a system of governing nonlinear partial differential equations is converted into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by suitable similarity transformations and then solved analytically using homotopy analysis method and numerically by the fourth order rung...
