Study of Deformation Law of Casing Local Lateral Collapse Based on the Principle of Virtual Work by Wanchun Zhao, Jing Ge, Ranjith Pathegama Gamage, Yuwei Li, Zhenlong Song, Tingting Wang

“…In this study, according to the actual collapse deformation characteristics of the casing in the second section of the Qing formation of the Songliao Basin in China, the yield surfaces of the casing collapse deformation are considered as plane plastic areas (half rhombus) with symmetric parabola shaped boundaries, and a mechanical model for the local lateral collapse deformation of casing is presented based on the principle of virtual work. Four types of casing, 4½″J55, 5½″J55, 4½″N80 and 5½″N80, are selected as examples. …”
