Fracture Bed Pan Use: An Analytical Model for Fatigue Crack Propagation

In the field of fracture technology, fracturing pumpheads play a vital role in various applications. However, these components are prone to fatigue crack failure, which can significantly decrease their working life and operational efficiency. In this article, we will explore an analytical model for a five-cylinder fracturing pumphead using the submodel method with the re-meshing technique to analyze its fatigue crack propagation process.

The use of fracturing pumpheads is widespread in industries such as oil and gas, where they are employed to fracture rock formations and extract natural resources. These components are designed to withstand high-stress conditions and operate efficiently for extended periods. However, the repeated loading and unloading cycles can lead to fatigue crack formation, which can ultimately result in catastrophic failure.

The stress distribution on the pumphead is a critical factor that influences the change law for the a-KI curve (crack length a and stress intensity factor KI). The results of our study show that the curvature of the crack front gradually decreases due to the higher stress intensity factor KI at the pressured inner surfaces of the pumphead. This finding highlights the importance of considering the stress distribution on the pumphead when analyzing fatigue crack propagation.

The ISO 12135:2016 standard is more suitable for materials like 30CrNi2MoVA, with an error of about 5% in JIC obtained by the two standards. However, if the constitutive model of material is more aligned with that of ideal elastic plastic material, the ASTM E1820-2013 standard is recommended.

In addition to the analytical model, our study also proposes a data processing method to calculate the fracture toughness for specified reliability. This approach takes into account the enormous data scatter in experimental results and provides a reliable estimate of fracture toughness.

The importance of considering fatigue crack failure in fracturing pumpheads cannot be overstated. Our study demonstrates that an analytical model can provide valuable insights into the fatigue crack propagation process, enabling designers to optimize their designs and improve the performance of these critical components.

In conclusion, this article presents an analytical model for a five-cylinder fracturing pumphead using the submodel method with the re-meshing technique to analyze its fatigue crack propagation process. The results highlight the importance of considering stress distribution on the pumphead and propose a data processing method to calculate fracture toughness for specified reliability. By understanding the mechanisms of fatigue crack failure, designers can create more reliable and efficient fracturing pumpheads that meet the demands of modern industries.
