Abstract
Consider an elastic half-space which is made of an incompressible elastic material whose modulus is directly proportional to distance from the free surface. It is well known that when a quasi-static pressure, varying arbitrarily over the surface, is applied to the half-space, the normal component of displacement at the surface is everywhere directly proportional to the pressure: the half-space mimics a Winkler foundation.Keywords
