  2. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    For example, the absolute pressure compared to vacuum is p = ρ g Δ z + p 0 , {\displaystyle p=\rho g\Delta z+p_{\mathrm {0} },} where Δ z {\displaystyle \Delta z} is the total height of the liquid column above the test area to the surface, and p 0 is the atmospheric pressure , i.e., the pressure calculated from the remaining integral over ...

  3. Well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

    Consider two wells, X and Y. Well X has a measured depth of 9,800 ft and a true vertical depth of 9,800 ft while well Y has measured depth of 10,380 ft while its true vertical depth is 9,800 ft. To calculate the hydrostatic pressure of the bottom hole, the true vertical depth is used because gravity acts (pulls) vertically down the hole. [2]

  4. Hydrostatic stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_stress

    In continuum mechanics, hydrostatic stress, also known as isotropic stress or volumetric stress, [1] is a component of stress which contains uniaxial stresses, but not shear stresses. [2] A specialized case of hydrostatic stress contains isotropic compressive stress, which changes only in volume, but not in shape. [ 1 ]

  5. Arch dam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_dam

    The main loads for which an arch dam is designed are: [1] [12] Dead load; Hydrostatic load generated by the reservoir and the tailwater; Temperature load; Earthquake load; Other miscellaneous loads that affect a dam include: ice and silt loads, and uplift pressure. [1] [12] The Idukki Dam in Kerala, India.

  6. Strength of ships - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_ships

    Tertiary strength and loads are the forces, strength, and bending response of individual sections of hull plate between stiffeners, and the behaviour of individual stiffener sections. Usually the tertiary loading is simpler to calculate: for most sections, there is a simple, maximum hydrostatic load or hydrostatic plus slamming load to calculate.

  7. Pore pressure gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_pressure_gradient

    Example: For a column of fresh water of 8.33 pounds per gallon (lb/U.S. gal) standing still hydrostatically in a 21,000 feet vertical cased wellbore from top to bottom (vertical hole), the pressure gradient would be grad(P) = pressure gradient = 8.33 / 19.25 = 0.43273 psi/ft. and the hydrostatic bottom hole pressure (BHP) is then

  8. Michell solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michell_solution

    In continuum mechanics, the Michell solution is a general solution to the elasticity equations in polar coordinates (,) developed by John Henry Michell in 1899. [1] The solution is such that the stress components are in the form of a Fourier series in .

  9. Hyperelastic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperelastic_material

    To ensure incompressibility of a hyperelastic material, the strain-energy function can be written in form: = where the hydrostatic pressure functions as a Lagrangian multiplier to enforce the incompressibility constraint.
