In this paper, a frictionless contact of a rigid flat-ended indentor on a linear elastic half plane is investigated by taking the influence of surface and couple stresses into account. The surface elasticity and couple stress theories are utilized to form a mathematical model. The Green’s function method together with the equilibrium condition of the indentor is employed to formulate the key equations governing the contact pressure. A collocation technique and a set of available fundamental solutions of a half plane under the surface loading are adopted to determine the unknown contact pressure. Results from a numerical study reveal that the presence of both surface and couple stresses significantly alters the distribution of the contact pressure from that predicted by the classical linear elasticity, and the size-dependent characteristics of predicted solutions are obviously observed when the contact width is comparable to the internal length scales of the surface and bulk materials.

When the characteristic sizes of materials and elements reduce to nanometers, the influence of surface energy becomes prominent in its mechanical behavior. In the frame of surface elasticity, the scattering of of plane compressional waves (P-waves) by a semi-cylindrical cavity embedded in an elastic half-plane is investigated in this paper. By using the wave function expansion method, we obtain the analytical solutions of elastci fields. The results show that surface energy has a significant effect on the diffractions of P-waves as the radius of the semi-cylindrical cavity shrinks to nanoscale. For incident waves with different frequencies, radius of semi-cylindrical cavity, the effects of surface elasticity on the dynamic stress concentration around the semi-cylindrical cavity are discussed in detail.
