The proper Dirac-like cones are observed in dispersion portraits of guided waves propagating in isotropic three-layered traction-free plates. It is revealed that if both layers have equal Poisson’s ratios and satisfy Wiechert condition, the Dirac-like cones appear regardless of the Poisson’s ratio value. This phenomenon opens a new approach for the creation of the layered plates possessing Dirac-like cones. The analysis is based on the Cauchy sextic formalism combined with the exponential fundamental matrix method.
