The major purpose of this paper is the development of wave dispersion curves calculation in multilayered composite-metal plates. At first, equations of motion and characteristic equations for the free waves on a single-layered orthotropic plate are presented. Since direction of wave propagation in composite materials is effective on equations of motion and dispersion curves, two different cases are considered: propagation of wave along an axis of material symmetry and along off-axes of material symmetry. Then, presented equations are extended for a multilayered orthotropic composite-metal plate using the transfer matrix method in which a global transfer matrix may be extracted which relates stresses and displacements on the top layer to those on the bottom one. By satisfying appropriate boundary conditions on the outer boundaries, wave characteristic equations and then dispersion curves are obtained. Moreover, presented equations may be applied to other materials such as monoclinic, transversely isotropic, cubic, and isotropic materials. To verify the solution procedure, a number of numerical illustrations for a single-layered orthotropic and double-layered orthotropic-metal are presented.

abstract Elastic waves produced by an impact were recorded at the surface of a solid 12.0 inch diameter steel sphere coated with a 0.3 inch copper layer. Conventional modeling techniques employing both compressional and shear piezoelectric transducers were used to record elastic waves for one millisecond at various points around the great circle of the sphere. Body, PL, and surface waves were observed. Density, layer thickness, compressional and shear-wave velocities were measured so that accurate surface-wave dispersion curves could be computed. Surface-wave dispersion was measured as well as computed. Measured PL mode dispersion compared favorably with theoretical computations. In addition, dispersion curves for Rayleigh, Stoneley, and Love modes were computed. Measured surface-wave dispersion showed Rayleigh and Love modes were observed but not Stoneley modes. Measured dispersion compared favorably with theoretical computations. The curvature correction applied to dispersion calculations in a flat space has been estimated to correct dispersion values at long-wave lengths to about one per cent of correct dispersion in a spherical model. Measured dispersion compared with such flat space dispersion corrected for curvature proved accurate within one per cent at long wave lengths. Two sets of surface waves were observed. One set was associated with body waves radiating outward from impact. The other set was associated with body waves reflecting at the pole opposite impact. For each set of surface waves, measured dispersion compared favorably with computed dispersion.
