Abstract

This analytical study demonstrates shear elastic wave propagation in stratified waveguide with emphasis on wave localisation effects using the propagator matrix method. The stratified waveguide consists of two-phase piecewise homogeneous periodically arranged finite number sub-layers along waveguide thickness. Analytical solutions are carried out for traction free waveguide. The existence of two modal types of guided waves is established: i) a localised surface mode occurring in “stopband” and ii) normal modes arising in a “passband” of frequencies.
