Abstract
An exact solution of free harmonic wave propagation in a composite laminated cylindrical shell is presented within the framework of the theory of three-dimensional cylindrically anisotropic elasticity. The dispersion equation governing these motions is established through a helical solution form in conjunction with a Frobenius power series method. Degenerate cases of infinite wavelength, axisymmetric waves, and of orthotropic shells are derived and discussed. Analytical results are presented for a variety of cases and are compared with those obtained from a Flügge shell theory.
