What is Anomalies of the A0leaky lamb mode of a fluid-loaded, elastic plate about?

For the fundamental, antisymmetric, leaky Lamb mode, A0, of an elastic plate immersed in a fluid, an investigation has been made of a form of anomalous behaviour in the subsonic region which occurs for some combinations of plate material and loading fluid. This behaviour consists of splitting of the modal locus to form a loop along which the modal wavenumber is lossless. At a point on the A0 locus in the subsonic region which is not on a loop, the mode consists of a highly damped and, hence, (effectively) non-propagating wave, whereas, at a point on a loop, the mode corresponds to a wave propagating without loss along the plate. The relevant parameters for the locus are rf /rp , cf /cs and cd /cs , where rf and rp are the fluid and plate densities, cf is the wave speed in the fluid, and cd and cs are the speeds of dilatational and shear waves in the plate material. Computations covering a wide range of rf /rp and a limited range of cd /cs indicate that the value of cf /cs is the dominant factor in the creation of anomalous behaviour, the splitting occurring if cf /cs is greater than some value between 0•5 and 0•6. At the entry to and exit from a loop, the two arms of the loop are s
