Surface layers with microstructures are widely used in many engineering fields. The mechanical behavior of microstructures in solids can be described by gradient elasticity theories. [One of them is the couple stress theory (Mindlin and Tiersten in Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 11:415–448, 1962).] In th...
