There are some difficulties in solving the theory of stress wave propagation in multi-layer media. To solve the problem of stress wave propagation in multi-layer media under the impact load, this paper theoretically makes further derivation and discussion based on viscoelastic analogy method. To further verify the feasibility of the theoretical solution, LS-DYNA is used to simulate the three-layer medium. The simulation results show that comparing the peak stress obtained from the numerical inversion of the Laplace function after the Laplace transform with the simulation results, the maximum error of the peak stress is about 9.5%, and the minimum error is about 1.7%. The results show that the theoretical solution agree with the simulation results, and the theoretical solution has specific feasibility. The theoretical solution method deduced in this paper further develops the viscoelastic analogy method, which has a specific reference value for the rapid calculation of the stress wave propagation law in multi-layer media.
