Known results for plates with rigid inclusions are complemented by explicit asymptotic solutions of the corresponding problems for sufficiently thin spherical shells. An important element of the analysis is recognition of the fact that in addition to the distinction between interior and edge zone solution contributions there is a significant distinction between near-field and far-field behavior of the interior solution, with the nature of this distinction depending on the nature of the boundary conditions which are prescribed. In the event that near-field behavior is of the membrane type and far-field behavior of the inextensional bending type, or vice versa, much higher stress concentrations occur than without such change in interior solution behavior.

The problem of a circular elastic inclusion in a thin pressurized spherical shell is considered. Using Reissner’s differential equations governing the behavior of a thin shallow spherical shell, the solutions for the two regions are obtained in terms of Bessel and Hankel functions. Particular cases of a rigid circular inclusion free to move with the shell and a clamped rigid circular inclusion are also considered. Results are presented in nondimensional form which will greatly facilitate their use in the design of spherical shells containing a rigid or an elastic inclusion.

Abstract The three-dimensional problem of the effect of a rigid circular inclusion on the bending of a thick elastic plate is solved approximately by the method of E. Reissner (1, 2). Comparison is made for the limiting cases of vanishing inclusion size, (plane strain), and vanishing thickness (Poisson-Kirchoff plate theory), with the work of J. N. Goodier (3) and M. Goland (4). Graphs showing the transition from the plane-strain solution to the Poisson-Kirchoff solution are given. Stress concentrations are calculated and plotted versus the inclusion diameter-plate thickness ratio. The stress concentrations are found to be less than predicted by the classical plate theory when the inclusion diameter approaches the same order of magnitude as the plate thickness.

The results of far field modeling of the wastefield formed by the Sand Island, Honolulu, ocean outfall are presented. A far field model, FRFIELD, was coupled to a near field model, NRFIELD. The input data for the models were long time series of oceanographic observations over the whole water column including currents measured by Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers and density stratification measured by thermistor strings. Thousands of simulations were made to predict the statistical variation of wastefield properties around the diffuser. It was shown that the visitation frequency of the wastefield decreases rapidly with distance from the diffuser. The spatial variation of minimum and harmonic average dilutions was also predicted. Average dilution increases rapidly with distance. It is concluded that any impact of the discharge will be confined to a relatively small area around the diffuser and beach impacts are not likely to be significant.
