The life of bevel gear dies is determined by its stress state mainly. During the forging, the die teeth fractured and the bottom corner cracked in a few times. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to investigate the reason of failure. The results show that the tip fracture and the bottom corner crack mainly resulted from excessive tensile stress. In accordance with the FEA results, the non-plane parting face was changed into plane parting face and the radius of bottom hole was enlarged. The FEA result proves that the modification can greatly reduce stress concentration and the application proves that the modification can effectively solve the premature failure of the die.

Abstract. In this paper we analysis of the dynamic model of the Rotary Steerable System (RSS) with a single stabilizer and flex-sub. The drill collar and joint are simplified to obtain suitable bottom-hole assembly (BHA) model of mechanical analysis and finite element analysis. Using the BHA uniform stiffness assumption (ignoring the influence of variable section and variable stiffness of drill collar in BHA), the paper takes a method of the longitudinal and transverse bending continuous beam method to analyse the stress of BHA with RSS with the flex-sub under different inclination angles and curvature conditions. In addition, a dynamic analysis model is proposed, and the dynamic stress of drilling tools with RSS is analysed. Through the software of ANSYS, the finite element analysis of the RSS with the flex-sub is carried out to verify the theoretical results. The influence of flex-sub on the steering drilling performance of RSS is studied, and the optimized parameters of flex-sub design are obtained, which provides useful suggestions for the design of RSS.
