The investigations are carried out within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model with the use of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies. The mechanical relations of the materials of the cylinders are described through the harmonic potential. The numerical results on the influence of the initial stretching or compression of the cylinders along the torsional wave propagation direction are presented and discussed KW - finite initial strains KW - wave dispersion control KW - hollow bi-material compound cylinder KW - high elastic material KW - torsional wave DO - 10.3970/cmc.2011.026.091
