Wave steering effects in anisotropic composite structures: direct calculation of the energy skew angle through a finite element scheme

A systematic expression quantifying the wave energy skewing phenomenon as a function of the mechanical characteristics of a non-isotropic structure is derived in this study. A structure of arbitrary anisotropy, layering and geometric complexity is modelled through Finite Elements (FEs) coupled to a...
