... structure design method for highway, airport, and bridges, dynamics of pavements needs to be investigated thoroughly. A multilayered elastic medium is a commonly used physical model for pavements. The study of dynamic responses of a multilayered medium has been a subject of great interest since 1950s ( 9...
