MATLAB Implementation for Generating Lamb Wave Symmetric Mode Dispersion Curves with Customizable Parameters

Detailed Documentation

The development of the LAMMPS software package enables atomic-scale material behavior studies. A key feature involves generating Lamb wave symmetric mode dispersion curves using MATLAB, which facilitates parameter modifications and material behavior analysis under varying conditions. The MATLAB implementation typically involves solving the Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equations through numerical methods like root-finding algorithms (e.g., Newton-Raphson) or matrix eigenvalue approaches. Critical functions may include parameterized scripts for phase velocity calculation, frequency-thickness product sweeps, and mode identification logic. By studying materials at atomic resolution, researchers gain deeper insights into material properties, driving advancements in materials science, engineering, and nanotechnology. The code structure allows easy adjustment of elastic constants, density, and frequency ranges to model diverse material systems.
