Eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are calculated in terms of power series in R/L for free axisymmetric longitudinal oscillations of uniform circular cylinders of radius R and length L. These are used to compute the cross section for absorption of gravitational waves. Our results are compared with the Pochhamer-Chree solution and other approximate solutions. (AIP)
