Abstract

The problem of a semi-infinite punch moving steadily with a constant velocity on the free surface of a viscoelastic strip resting in welded contact with a different semi-infinite viscoelastic medium (which can be taken as a model of a two-layered earth) and producing horizontal shear waves has been studied. The resulting mixed boundary value problem has been solved by using the Wiener-Hopf technique. Solutions have been derived in closed analytic form. Numerical results in certain special circumstances are presented graphically.
