The linear equations due to Flügge for the thin elastic circular cylindrical shell are solved by the use of the finite Fourier transform for two general cases of radial line-loadings on a finite length shell. The loadings considered are: (a) an arbitrary line-load acting along a generator, and (b) an arbitrary line-load applied around the circumference. The solution presents the orthogonal displacement components of the middle surface in the form of rapidly converging series.
