Abstract
This chapter discusses the stress/strain transformation principles and the key role they play in the stress calculation of a drilled well, whether vertical, horizontal, or inclined.It provides an understanding of how to perform stress or strain transformations between two coordinate systems, and to be able to determine the magnitudes and orientations of stress or strain components that result. One key reason for stress or strain transformation is that the strains are normally measured in the laboratory along particular directions, and they must be transformed into a new coordinate system before the relevant stresses can be re-calculated. Furthermore, this chapter describes coordinate transformation and its effect on the stress components in a two-dimensional domain along with a three-dimensional analysis.
