Nanoindentation technique, which is based on Hertzian contact theory and Sneddon's
solutions for the contact between a rigid indenter and an elastic half-space, has been widely …

This paper analyzes the sliding frictional nanocontact of an exponentially graded layer
perfectly bonded to a homogeneous half-plane substrate under the nanoindentation of a …

In this study, an elastic solution of an axisymmetrically surface-loaded thin layer resting on a
rigid substrate is established by taking the surface stress and material microstructural effects …

This paper considers the size-dependent plane frictional contact problem of a homogeneous
coated half-plane indented by a rigid punch based on the couple stress elasticity. Using the …

This paper investigates the axisymmetric nanocontact of a gradient nanostructure,
comprising an exponentially graded coating and a homogeneous half-space, under a rigid …

This work investigates a three-dimensional size-dependent frictional contact problem of a
rigid spherical punch sliding on an elastic half-space. The size-dependent material …

This paper focuses on a theoretical examination of the mechanical behavior of elastic layers
made of functionally graded (FG) materials. It particularly highlights the impact of material …

This paper examines the contact problem of a heterogeneous geo-material medium
indented by a circular rigid plate. The rigid plate is subjected to an applied moment about a …

In this study, the sliding friction contact problems associated with the indentation of an elastic
half-plane by rigid cylindrical and flat punches were investigated within the context of the …

A size-dependent elastic response of a thin-layer-coated substrate induced by a finite-length
interfacial displacement discontinuity is fully investigated in the present work. The material …
