The structures of the boundary layer are investigated using the example of the axisymmetric problem of the theory of elasticity for a radially multilayered cylinder with alternating hard and soft layers. On the basis of an asymptotic analysis of the problem, an applied theory of stretching is proposed, which takes into account weakly decaying boundary-layer solutions. The propagation of asymmetric waves in a radially multilayered cylindrical waveguide is investigated. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
