Abstract
Effects of a fluid layer at a micropolar orthotropic elastic solid interface to a moving point load have been studied. After using the Fourier transform an eigen value approach has been employed to solve the problem. The displacement, microrotation and stress components for a micropolar orthotropic elastic solid so obtained in the physical domain are computed numerically by applying the numerical inversion technique. Micropolarity and anisotropy effects along with that of the depth of the fluid layer on various expressions have been depicted graphically for a particular model. Some special cases of interest have been presented
