Abstract
Sucker rods are very impotent components of the borehole equipment of sucker rod pumping units and serve for transfer the back and forth motion from the surface pumping jack to a plunger of the deep pump. Operation of sucker rods takes place in difficult conditions of alternative loadings of stretching/compression, a bending loading due buckling, friction on internal surface of a tubing column, influences of the corrosive and active environment, deposits of asphalt-resin-paraffin on sucker rods and tubing. For the purpose to increase a resource of a column of sucker rods it is offered instead of steel to use the sucker rods made of polymere composite materials (a fiberglass, carbon fiber, hybrid with two steel heads). Application of hybrid sucker rods gives many economic and operational advantages in comparison with steel and fiberglass rods. With increase of running depth of a column of sucker rods the load on the rods, and, therefore, on connections of a steel head with a polymeric composite body increases. Influence of elastic characteristics of material of a hybrid core (parameter of an ortotropiya, parameter of pliability of shift, coupling size) and features of its contact interaction with a steel head at a size and distribution of pressure and, as a result of it, on durability and operability of the considered constructive connection has practical interest at connection design. The task of increase the durability of connection of a hybrid sucker rod and its reliability is set. In work we are using the finite element analysis in the program SolidWorks. Environment of finite element method is offered to design an optimum f connection of a steel head with a composite body of a hybrid sucker rod. On the basis of the carried-out analysis the design of connection with a cylindrical part of a steel head of variable thickness, with cuts in this cylindrical part in the form of petals and performance galtel at the exit from contact of a head and a core of a rod is offered
