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.
