Abstract
Dispersion analysis of Lamb waves propagating in anisotropic functionally graded plates with transverse inhomogeneity reveals that the high frequency asymptotes associated with the interfacial Stoneley waves disappear, while in stratified plates the corresponding high frequency asymptotes exist. The analysis utilizes a variant of the Cauchy sextic formalism coupled with the exponential fundamental matrices for constructing explicit dispersion equation.
