By　using　the　mixed　Lagrangian-Eulerian　description　and　adopting　the　von　Karman＇s　strain　approximation,　the　non-linear　magnetoelastic　interactions　of　a　circular　cylindrical　thin　shell　experiencing　moderately　large　deflections　are　fully　explored.　The　shell　is　assumed　to　be　perfectly　electroconductive　and　immersed　in　an　applied　magnetic　field　and　carrying　electric　current.　The　magnetoelastic　loads　acting　on　the　shell　associated　with　the　Lorentz　forces　and　Maxwell＇s　stress　jumps　are　explicitly　represented　and　the　approximated　governing　systems　for　the　induced　magnetic　fields　outside　the　shell　in　total　Lagrangian　description　are　obtained.　Case　study　on　a　shell＇s　cross　section　model　is　conducted　and　pertinent　conclusions　are　drawn.　(C)　2010　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
