Omnidirectional beam splitters for the simultaneous control of the three fundamental Lamb modes in an elastic plate are designed and numerically studied. Beam splitters consist in radially symmetric and inhomogeneous lenses designed to redirect the incoming energy towards a given angle. In this work, these devices are designed by means of graded phononic crystals combined with thickness variations of the plate. Numerical simulations are presented to show the performance of the designed devices
