Abstract

Abstract Propagation of harmonic Lamb waves in functionally graded (FG) plates with transverse inhomogeneity is analyzed by applying the modified Cauchy six-dimensional formalism. For arbitrary transverse inhomogeneity and arbitrary elastic anisotropy a closed form implicit analytical solution for the dispersion relation is derived. Dispersion relations for materials with exponential inhomogeneity are obtained.
