Structural Dynamic Analysis of the Riser and Drill String for Project Mohole. Part II. Computer Programs

摘要

The differential equations describing the motions and stresses of the Mohole riser and drill string are nonlinear, and contain coefficients that vary in both time and space. It was therefore necessary to resort to digital computers to solve them. The computer programs that were developed for solution of equations are presented in sufficient detail that they may be employed by anyone skilled in FORTRAN to reproduce or extend the results presented in Part I (PB-175 362) of the report.
