이방성을 지닌 복합재료에서 측정한 군속도와 램파 방정식을 이용하여 계산한 군속도는 서로 일치하지 않는다. 이러한 차이는 이방성 재료에서 군속도 방향과 위상속도 방향이 서로 일치하지 않는 현상에서 기인된 것이다. 본 연구에서는 램파 분산방정식을 이용하여 이방성을 지닌 단일방향, 양방향, 준등방성 복합재료 판에서 $S_0$모드 위상속도곡선을 전파 방향 변화에 따라 구하고, 위상속도의 역수 값으로 구성되는 slowness surface를 이용하여 군속도의 방향과 크기를 결정하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 군속도는 측정한 군속도와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.
Experimentally measured Lamb wave group velocities in composite materials with anisotropic characteristics are not accorded with the theoretical group velocities as calculated with the Lamb wave dispersion equation. This discrepancy arises from the fact that the angle between the group velocity direction and the phase velocity direction in anisotropic materials exists. Wave propagation in a composite material with anisotropic characteristics should be considered with respect to magnitude in addition to direction. In this study, $S_0$ mode phase velocity dispersion corves are depicted with the variation of degree with respect to the fiber direction using a Lamb wave dispersion relation in the unidirectional, bidirectional, and quasi-isotropic composite plates. Slowness surface is sketched by the reciprocal value of the phase velocity curves. The magnitude and direction of the group velocity are calculated from the slowness surface. The theoretically determined group velocity, which is calculated from the slowness surface, Is compared with experimentally measured group velocities. The proposed method shows good agreements with theoretical and experimental results.
