Abstract
Anomalous guided waves appearing at a non-semisimple degeneracy of the fundamental matrix are observed and analyzed in the framework of the Cauchy sextic formalism. The non-semisimple degeneracy condition is explicitly constructed for the most general case of Lamb waves propagating in a traction-free layer with arbitrary elastic anisotropy. A new type of dispersion equation and the corresponding dispersion solution are obtained. The connection with surface waves of the non-Rayleigh type is discussed.
