Horizontal displacement

An extended reach well is loosely defined as having a horizontal displacement of at least twice the vertical depth. With current technology a ratio of over 4 (horizontal displacement / vertical depth) can be achieved. 

We formulate boundary conditions in the two-dimensional theory of plates and shells. Denote by u = U,w), U = ui,U2), horizontal and vertical displacements at the boundary T of the mid-surface fl c R. Then the horizontal displacements U may satisfy the Dirichlet-type conditions... 

Let us derive a condition of nonpenetrating in general case (see Fig. 1.3). The Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis provides the linear dependence of the shell horizontal displacements on a distance from the mid-surface, namely... 

Denote next by % = (IT, w) a displacement vector of the mid-surface points of the plate, where W = is horizontal displacements and w is... 

We consider the Kirchhoff-Love model of the plate for which both vertical and horizontal displacements of the mid-surface points are to be found. 

The Kirchhoff-Love model of the plate is characterized by the linear dependence of the horizontal displacements on the distance from the mid-surface, that is... 

The structure of the section is as follows. In Section 2.8.2 we give necessary definitions and construct a Borel measure n which describes the work of the interaction forces, i.e. for a set A c F dr, the value /a(A) characterizes the forces at the set A. The next step is a proof of smoothness of the solution provided the exterior data are regular. In particular, we prove that horizontal displacements W belong to in a neighbourhood of the crack faces. Consequently, the components of the strain and stress tensors belong to the space In this case the measure n is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. This confirms the existence of a locally integrable function q called a density of the measure n such that... 

In this section we deal with the simplified nonpenetration condition of the crack faces considered in the previous section. We formulate the model of a plate with a crack accounting for only horizontal displacements and construct approximate equations using penalty and iterative methods. The convergence of these solutions is proved and its application to the onedimensional problem is discussed. Analytical solutions for the model of a bar with a cut are obtained. The results of this section can be found in (Kovtunenko, 1996c, 1996d). 

We recall that in the Kirchhoff-Love plate theory the horizontal displacements depend linearly on the coordinate i.e. 

Let us consider a thin homogeneous isotropic beam of thickness 2s. We assume that the beam mid-line coincides with the segment (0,1) of the axis X. At the point y = 1/2, the beam has an inclined cut as a segment having the angle a with the vertical line, 0 < tana < 2e). We look for the function % = (W, w) of horizontal displacements W(x) and vertical displacements w(x) provided that the external forces g(x),f(x) are given. The condition of clamped edges... 

Within this regime it is found that the modulus E at one temperature can be related to that at another by a change in the time scale only, that is, there is an equivalenee between time and temperature. This means that the curve describing the modulus at one temperature can be superimposed on that for another by a constant horizontal displacement log (aj) along the log (t) axis, as shown in Fig. 23.5.

Horizontal displacement ventilation (see Chapters 7 and 8) is a ventilation principle mainly applied to general ventilation of workrooms. In some instances, a local ventilation problem may be solved by building a separate enclosure or a room around the workstation and arranging for a general ventilation in that enclosure. An example where that principle has been utilized is the control of emissions of and worker exposure to styrene vapors during...

As shown in Figure 1.10(b), the horizontal displacement of the solid is proportional to the distance from the fixed plate. If the upper plate is displaced a distance and the solid has a thickness h then the shear strain y is defined as... 

If two Gaussian functions are convolved, the result is a gaussian with variance equal to the sum of the variances of the components. Even when two functions are not Gaussian, their convolution product will have variance equal to the sum of the variances of the component functions. Furthermore, the second moment of the convolution product is given by the sum of the second moments of the components. The horizontal displacement of the centroid is given by the sum of the component centroid displacements. Kendall and Stuart (1963) and Martin (1971) provide helpful additional discussions of the central-limit theorem and attendant considerations.

Turning to the low temperature transition of the homopolymer of PHBA at 350 °C, it is generally accepted that the phase below this temperature is orthorhombic and converts to an approximate pseudohexagonal phase with a packing closely related to the orthorhombic phase (see Fig. 6) [27-29]. The fact that a number of the diffraction maxima retain the sharp definition at room temperature pattern combined with the streaking of the 006 line suggests both vertical and horizontal displacements of the chains [29]. As mentioned earlier, Yoon et al. has opted to describe the new phase as a smectic E whereas we prefer to interpret this new phase as a one dimensional plastic crystal where rotational freedom is permitted around the chain axis. This particular question is really a matter of semantics since both interpretations are correct. Perhaps the more important issue is which of these terminologies provides a more descriptive picture as to the nature of the molecular motions of the polymer above the 350 °C transition. As will be seen shortly in the case of the aromatic copolyesters, similar motions can be identified well below the crystal-nematic transition.
