Damping Effect on Mechanical Waves in an Elastic Solid Expanded Tubular

摘要

The present paper studies the dynamics of submerged expanded elastic tubes due to postexpansion sudden mandrel release known as pop-out phenomenon. A mathematical model describing the dynamics of the borehole-fluid-tube system is presented. Coupling of the fluid-structure interaction and damping effects were taken into consideration. An analytical solution for the displacement, stress, and pressure wave propagation in the fluid-tube system was obtained. The developed model predicted localized critical regions where the structure might experience failure.
