Abstract
A wave theoretical analysis of symmetric mode propagation in a medium confined by a cylindrical elastic shell is carried out. An expression is obtained for the axial propagation constant, specialized to that case of a thin steel shell surrounding a column of air. This is further restricted to the description of the lowest symmetric mode. The dispersion predicted by the analysis is in order of magnitude agreement with that obtained on a transmission line picture.
