This calculation was conducted in order to determine casing slip capacity. Initial load comes from downhole pressure (P)
uniformly distributed to casing and (PANNULUS) which act between outer side of casing and wellhead inner profile.
P will be transfer to casing slip through casing. It will create radial load (F) as it will be translated to casing slip
in terms of axial load for braking movement (HC).
In the picture below, PANNULUS being visualize act upward, while in practice its exerted to casing in all direction,
especially in a band of uniform pressure where casing slip directly bite the casing outer profile.

Free body diagram determination

F+R1+R2+HC = 0
HC = R2.sin + R1.cos
R2.cos = F + R1.sin
R1 = R2.
F = P.(2.l.t)
F = R2.cos - R1.sin
F = R2.cos - R2..sin

for FY = 0

for FX = 0

R2 = F / (cos - .sin )
R2 = P.(2.l.t) / (cos - .sin )

F = R2.(cos - .sin )
HC = R2.sin + R1.cos
HC = R2.sin + (R2.).cos
HC = R2.(sin + .cos )
HC = [P.(2.l.t) / (cos - .sin )].(sin + .cos )
HC = P.(2.l.t).[(sin + .cos )/(cos - .sin )]
HC = P.(2.l.t) / cot (+)

cot (+) known as transverse factor

from pipe load to slip [2]

Stress Resultant Determination due to Annulus Pressure [3]

1 and 2 consider only stress in certain direction due to uniform pressure loading over a band of annulus pressure
while TOTAL account remaining stress exerted to casing before casing yield occur
Remind that PANNULUS always act in all direction (in this case its being visualized as a band of uniform radial loading)

Casing Slip Capacity Determination [1]

Casing slip capacity was determine by using y as a limit to prevent plastic deformation on casing

HC_ANN = (TOTAL . (2.l.t)) / cot (+)
