ABSTRACT In the process of dealing with various types of complications, in particular with sticking and, as oilfield experiments show, occurs at large values of displacement of the pipe surface, and this fact indicates the necessity of using a nonlinear model of drilling mechanics. The stress state of the drill string in contact with the borehole wall according to the nonlinear (cubic) law under the action of vertical dynamic force is investigated, and the effect of geometric non-linearity on the stress state of the string is studied. KEYWORDS: Drill String, Model, Nonlinear Law, Contact Interaction, Bore & Sticking

1. INTRODUCTION Many problems of drilling mechanics, mathematically formulated using linear differential equations, strictly speaking, are nonlinear. In fact, they should be described by nonlinear differential equations, where the influence of many factors can be taken into account, which, in some circumstances, play a significant role in the drilling process.

The linearization of the problems of drilling mechanics is carried out entirely in order to avoid mathematical difficulties associated with solving nonlinear differential equations, and to use for a clear interpretation of the results of the theory of linear equations. The widespread use of mechanics in the field of technology, in particular in drilling, led to the need to increase the accuracy of the analysis of the results of the studied processes, as well as to the description of effects that could not be taken into account by linear theories, despite the fact that some of them, as noted above, have already become play an important role in solving technical problems. In recent years, they began to deal with mathematically incomparably more difficult, but also more attractive non-linearized problems, and therefore a large number of separate studies have accumulated at present [1-7]. When using the fundamentals of the theory of elasticity in drilling mechanics, two linearization processes are realized. The first of them, concerning the geometry of a deformed body, is based on the assumption that the dimensionless quantities determining the deformation are very small. Therefore, it is possible to accurately describe the deformed state, discarding the higher degrees of deformation as small quantities in comparison with the first degrees, and this linearization process is called geometric. The second linearization process relates to the physical properties of the material and the contact force of the interaction of the pipe tubes with the external environment (with a rock mass or with the walls of the well). This process is based on the assumption that stresses and strains are connected by a linear dependence (Hooke's law), and the interaction force of the pipe sections with the external medium obeys a linear law (physical linearization). Drill strings in wells are hollow, heavy rods with stepwise varying physical properties (for example, rigidity), and
