Abstract
The analytical and geometrical conditions for the possible appearance of the infinite group velocity (IGV) points belonging to the dispersion curves of Lamb waves propagating in traction-free plates are studied by a combined method comprising Cauchy sextic formalism and the exponential fundamental matrix method. According to the obtained geometrical condition, the IGV corresponds to the coincidence of a tangent line to any of the dispersion curves with a straight line passing through the origin. The developed technique is demonstrated by applying it to the analysis of Lamb wave dispersion in a Ge cubic crystal.
