SAFEDC is a freeware guided wave (GW)calculator developed by Dr. Menglong Liu's group from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, China. Email liumenglong1988@gmail.com on SAFEDC. The function is as follows:
1. GW in isotropic plate. Acousto-elastic effect can be calculated, and result of dispersion cuve, displacement/stress/strain curve along the thickness, and static/dynamic mode shape can be output.
2. GW in anisotropic plate. laminate with arbitrary material and geometry parameters can be output, and GW in the laminate can be caluclated.
3. Circumenferential and longitudinal GW in Isotropic hollow cylinder.
4. Circumenferential and longitudinal GW in Anisotropic hollow cylinder.
5. GW in General section. users can import STL file to SAFEDC, to calcuate GW in general waveguide.
A paper named "Modelling guided waves in acoustoelastic and complex waveguides : From SAFE theory to an open-source code tool" is published for the reference on the SAFE theory.
