Abstract
A Finite Element formulation to model the Lamb wave
scattering in homogeneous and sandwich plates is presented.
Dispersion curves are calculated by solving a
quadratic eigenproblem. A meshing criterion to obtain
accurate results with linear and quadratic elements is
provided. An absorbing boundary condition for semi-infinite
plates is derived from the formulation and used
to study the Lamb wave reflection by simple obstacles. A
hybrid Boundary Element-Finite Element formulation to
solve Lamb wave diffraction by defects with more complex
geometries is also presented. Both formulations are
checked with a series of test problems and they are shown
to provide excellent results.
