COMPUTATIONAL SOLID MECHANICS FOR OIL WELL PERFORATOR DESIGN

Focusing on computational methods, the book addresses solid mechanics in oil well perforator design, utilizing both Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches to tackle stress-strain equations and shock waves. It features seven effective oil well perforators and two conical-shaped charges designed to overcome reactive armor. Additionally, readers have access to supplementary online computer programs written in Fortran for calculating explosive burn times, shear modulus, and yield strength, along with MATLAB plotting tools for various perforators.
