A dynamic problem for a prestressed compressible layered half-space.

The linearized theory of elasticity for prestressed bodies is used to solve a stationary plane problem for a prestressed two-layer half-space under a surface load moving with constant velocity. The half-space is assumed to be compressible and to have an arbitrary elastic potential. The Fourier transform is used to obtain the fundamental solution of the problem for different contact conditions and load velocities. A compressible material with a harmonic elastic potential is considered as an example [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
