This paper investigates the dynamic response to a time-harmonic oscillating moving strip load of a system comprising an initially stressed covering layer and initially stressed half-plane, within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model utilizing three-dimensional linearized wave propagation theory in the initially stressed body It is assumed that the materials of the layer and half-plane are anisotropic (orthotropic), and that the velocity of the line-located time-harmonic oscillating moving load is constant as it acts on the free face of the covering layer. Our investigations were carried out for a two dimensional problem (plane-strain state) under subsonic velocity for a moving load in complete and incomplete contact conditions. The corresponding numerical results were obtained for the stiffer layer and soft half-plane system in which the modulus of elasticity of the covering layer material (for the moving direction of the load) is greater than that of the half-plane material
