T1  - On the repulsion effect of coupled Lamb Wave modes
N2  - This work investigates the phenomenon of mode repulsion in coupled Lamb wave systems. By mechanically coupling two dissimilar plates using spring elements, it is shown that previously intersecting Lamb wave modes are repelled, avoiding any crossing in the dispersion curves. The effect, rooted in eigenvalue theory and first observed in quantum systems, is explained through both mathematical models and classical analogies with coupled harmonic oscillators. Numerical simulations using the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method validate the theoretical predictions, revealing a correlation between strain distribution and frequency splitting. The observed mode repulsion provides new insights into interface properties and offers potential for applications such as monitoring adhesive degradation in layered structures.
