Theoretical and Finite Element Analysis on Connecting Rod of Quintuple Cylinders Fracturing Pump

Abstract:

According to the plunger pump movement principle, this paper analyzed the two kind of typical force situation of the connecting rod, and obtained the theoretical maximum value of the force. The finite element analysis method was applied to analyze the structure strength of the connecting rod. The finite element model of the connecting rod was established, and the load handling and boundary condition was analyzed. The maximum stress 405MPa occurs at the transition from the small end to the link body. The average stress of the link body is 136MPa. The maximum displacement is 0.17mm, belongs to the small deformation range. The last results of the node stress and displacement show that the connecting rod can work safely.
