Hey guys,

Does anyone know of any MATLAB solution/implementation of acoustic wave propagation in a finite thin plate.

I'm looking for a solution that can calculate the impulse response of a rectangular plate of dimensions Lx, Ly, Lz, where Lz is the thickness. 

Ideally I'd like to know the impulse response of the plate for an impulse excitation at (x0,y0,z0) and an observation point at (x,y,z).

I have a solution including the p-wave, but need to incorporate more wave modes (Lamb modes). 

Any ideas, pointers to literature on the subject, etc. would be very much appreciated.

Best regards,
/JC
