The couple stresses effects are analyzed based on Stokes micro-continuum theory. The nondimensional pressure and shear stress expressions are derived using modified Reynolds equation. The nondimensional load capacity increases and the coefficient of friction decreases using nanoparticle additive lubricants with couple stress effects. The three-layered journal bearing performance characteristics are improved with increase in both (i) surface adsorbent fluid film layer thickness and (ii) dynamic viscosity ratio of surface to core layer. publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing date: 2013 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Rao, T.V.V.L.N. and Sufian, S. and Mohamed, N.M.
