conference paper Fabian Bause author Jens Rautenberg author Bernd Henning author 213 49 department IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS 2010) Semi-analytical approaches for the description of dispersion in acoustic waveguides are based on root finding in a characteristic function. A mode-tracing algorithm helps to find all solutions of this problem by consecutively bracketing single roots. In this contribution we present a multistage and adaptive mode-tracing algorithm, which uses an adaptive step size for the prediction of consecutive solutions as well as an adaptive estimation of the search space around these predictions. Furthermore we present a validation stage to ensure the correlation between consecutive solutions alias waveguide modes. 2010San Diego, California eng 719-722 Bause, F., Rautenberg, J., &#38; Henning, B.
