A homogeneous semi-infinite flyer impacts a finite layered Goupillaud-type medium attached to a homogeneous half space. After the initial impact in the direction perpendicular to the layers, the stress wave propagates through the medium. The Goupillaud-type finite layered medium allows for the stress to be modeled discretely through a linear dynamical system. Here we analyze the short and long term behavior of stress by means of the coefficient matrix of the system and its eigenvalues.
