This paper examines the axisymmetric problem of layered and non-homogeneous geo-material halfspaces with transverse isotropy. The halfspace is subjected to normal traction over a circular area of the boundary surface. A n-layered halfspace system approximates the arbitrary variation of the elastic p...
