Abstract An exact solution for the flow of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid between two infinitely extended parallel plates, due to the harmonic oscillations of the upper plate and the impulsively started harmonic oscillations of the lower plate from rest, in the respective planes of the plates, has been obtained. The momentum transfer towards the central region and the skin friction of the lower plate are found to be greater for the viscoelastic fluid than that for viscous fluid. The effect of out-of-phase oscillations of the plates with different amplitudes on the flow characteristics has also been investigated.
