A gradient elasticity approach to the indentation size effect at very small depths

Over the past two decades, the indentation size effect (ISE) has been studied extensively by several authors. A common point among all these studies has been the premise that during the indentation process sufficient plastic deformation is developed so that a gradient plasticity framework can be emp...
