Large Lateral Deflection of Unequal Stiffness Springs
A two-spring system is subjected to a force F as shown below. l=10 cm, k1=8N/cm, and k2=1N/cm. F=5*2^0.5N. Determine the strain energy of the system and the displacements δx and δy. The solution to this problem is best obtained by adding mass and using the "slow dynamics" technique with approximately critical damping. Combination elements (COMBIN40) are … Continue reading Large Lateral Deflection of Unequal Stiffness Springs
Wear analysis of casing coupling
Fig.1. Typical casing couplings Because the reciprocating and rotary motion of the drill pipe in the casing is eccentric, the radial and axial friction between the drill pipe and the casing causes serious wear on the outer surface of the drill pipe and the inner surface of the casing. This wear mostly occurs at the … Continue reading Wear analysis of casing coupling
The Analysis of Piston Rubber Film of Pneumatic Brake Device
Fig.1. Typical piston rubber films (with central hole) Fig.2. A typical piston rubber film Fig.3. A typical piston rubber film (edge can be fixed with bolts) Typical piston rubber films in a pneumatic brake device that is commonly used in drilling operations are shown in Fig.1-Fig.3. When the brake device is activated, the piston rubber … Continue reading The Analysis of Piston Rubber Film of Pneumatic Brake Device
The stress-strain curve of rubber material stiffened by carbon fiber
Fig.1. Illustration of the discretization and BCs A 2D model is created. Plane elements and beam elements are used to discretize rubber material and carbon fiber, respectively. To ensure that rubber and carbon fiber deform together (no slipping), plane elements and beam elements share common nodes. A concentrated force (the red arrow in Fig.1) is … Continue reading The stress-strain curve of rubber material stiffened by carbon fiber
