A consistent higher-order shear deformation nonlinear theory is developed for shells of generic shape; taking geometric imperfections into account. The geometrically nonlinear strain-displacement relationships are derived retaining full nonlinear terms in the in-plane displacements; they are presented in curvilinear coordinates in a formulation ready to be implemented. Then, large-amplitude forced vibrations of a simply supported, laminated circular cylindrical shell are studied (i) by using the developed theory, and (ii) keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type. Results show that inaccurate results are obtained by keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type for vibration amplitudes of about two times the shell thickness for the studied case.
