Summary
An analytical solution was given to the problem of a long rigid punch moving rapidly on a strip of a highly orthotropic material. This elastic layer rests in turn on a rigid frictionless foundation. Obviously, the problem presents a lot of interest from the view-point both of geophysical and mechanical sciences. The solution was effected by means of integral transforms and the Wiener-Hopf technique. Asymptotic results were obtained valid near the edge of the moving punch.
