Here, , and are the bulk surface energy density, the bulk shear modulus and Poisson ratio of the elastic half-space, respectively. represents an intrinsic length reflecting the surface effect. and are the Struve function and Bessel function of the second kind of order , respectively. The bar “-” emphasizes the solution at . Equation (10) could reduce to the classical solution if the parameter is set to be zero.[34] In contrast to the existing models, the bulk surface energy density serves as a critical parameter to characterize the surface property of the indented material instead of the previously used surface residual stress and surface elastic constants.[13,14,20,21] More details of the derivation of Equation (10) can be found in Ref.[34]
