Abstract
Studied here are the results of the asymmetric problem solution of the thick walled circular cylinder elasticity using the spatial characteristics technique. The practical implementation of the solution of the problem is based on the calculation of the stress-caused deformation state of the stuck drilling string zone affected by the explosion wave action upon the inner wall of the pipe.
Suggested here is the technique for determining axual σz and circular σθ stress on the drill pipe wall as well as the radial displacements ur of the stuck drill pipe outer surface under the action of the explosion shock wave. The above technique enables to make a sound selection of the cylindrical explosive charge weight in order to avoid the residual strain during the drilling string shaping off and uncoupling the threaded joints or to prevent them from exceeding the admissible level.
It is well known that the upper ball joint in a marine riser, in deep drilling, can cause fatigue damage in the drill pipe passing through it. A study of fracture mechanics and S–N curve approaches has been undertaken to determine the dynamic fatigue damage in the drill pipe. Miner’s rule is utilized in both methods to determine the total damage. The results of both methods are compared.
