“…With the advancement of space research, it has become necessary to obtain a deep insight in the behavior of materials, especially of the anisotropic ones that are so frequently used in missiles and other allied systems. Without taking into the consideration the effect of the magnetic field, the analysis of longitudinal wave propagation in an anisotropic and homogeneous circular cylindrical shell, according to the theory of elasticity, has been done by many authors [1–7]. Moreover, the propagation of harmonic waves, in circular cylinders that are made of isotropic or anisotropic materials, has been investigated and evaluated numerically, on the basis of the theory of elasticity, by Mirsky [8], Tsai [9] and White and Tongtaow [10].…”
