Abstract

A Timoshenko-type theory of cylindrical shells, developed by the authors in a previous paper [G. Herrmann and I. Mirsky, J. Appl. Mech. 23, 563-568 (1956)] for the case of axial symmetry, is generalized presently to include nonaxially-symmetric motions. As an application, the propagation of free harmonic waves in the axial direction of a shell of infinite extent is studied and discussed in the light of previous work on this problem. [This investigation was supported by the U. S. Air Force, through the Office of Scientific Research of the Air Research and Development Command, under Contract AF18(600)-1247.]
