contents Strain offers a straightforward and effective method for generating pseudo-magnetic fields in optical and acoustic materials, thereby enabling precise manipulation of wave propagation. In this article, we investigate and justify wave packet dynamics localized near Dirac points in strained honeycomb-structured media. We develop a novel approach based on spectral analysis to control the error from second-order differential residue terms caused by the strain. The analysis yields a two-dimensional Dirac equation with nontrivial gauge fields governing the envelope dynamics, which is proved to well approximate the true solution in a long but finite time. These results contribute to the mathematical understanding of pseudo-magnetic effects in strained honeycomb structures and pave the way to systems with general higher-order perturbation terms.
