Abstract

A procedure is described to determine phase velocities of a circular helix. Computations are made for three helix configurations using the method of internal constraints. The results so obtained are compared with the results obtained by using the elementary theory proposed by J. H. Michell, and the extended elementary theory proposed by A. B. Basset.
