Abstract

Appearing the zero group velocity (ZGV) point belonging to the first quasi flexural branch (A1) of Lamb waves propagating in the multilayered traction-free plates containing homogeneous isotropic layers is observed and analyzed; in contrast to the previously studied homogeneous isotropic plates admitting ZGV points that may belong to the higher flexural modes (A2, A3, …) and higher symmetric modes. The detected ZGV point in a multilayered traction-free plate leads to the transverse quasi resonance occurred at the lower frequency than the previously studied resonance associated with the first symmetric mode (S1) and especially higher symmetric and flexural modes. The analysis is done by the combined method comprising Cauchy sextic formalism and the exponential fundamental matrix method.
