7.1 Asymptotes

Again, the cut-offs are independent on the coefficients with higher order of k and thus they do not change with respect to the two previous cases. For the asymptotes we only consider the terms with the highest order of k available and compute

\

\ We have again three asymptotes (the roots of a third order polynomial) which in general causes the analytical expressions to be impractical rather quickly. However, in this case it is possible to find one root by hand

7.3 Discussion

\ \ \ Figure 6: Dispersion curves ω(k) for 0 degrees (left) and 45 degrees (right) with pressure curves colored in yellow and shear in blue. The dots are the points computed with Comsol Multiphysics® while the smooth curves show the analytical expression of the dispersion curves for the relaxed micromorphic model. The value of the curve’s horizontal asymptotes are also shown with dashed lines.
