Abstract
A matrix reduction method is developed for calculating the normal mode frequencies of the finite-layered structures formed by an arbitrary number of thin films of different atoms. The simple cubic lattice with the nearest-neighbour central and shear force interactions is used for explicit formulation. The usefulness of the resulting expressions is demonstrated for bicrystal and tricrystal structures.
