When modeling soil in geotechnical applications, the Young modulus can change with the depth of the soil. This example explores a position-dependent Young's modulus. We use a rectangular slab of soild that is 100 meters wide and 100 meters deep:

Set up the PDE:

We have a force in the negative direction acting on part of the top:

On the left- and right-hand side we constrain the movement in the direction; in the direction, the soil is able to move freely. At the bottom, the soil can move in the direction but not in the direction. This models a scenario where the soil is "standing" on a harder ground that does not move:
