Abstract

Regardless of the operating conditions, a load acts on the parts of a machine in different directions. These loads in particular determine the required strength and resistance of parts and determine the study and selection of appropriate strength, resistance parameters for the parts. This can be determined by their impact on oilfield equipment and machine parts. Testing is done to determine the static flexibility, flow limit, tensile strength relative to flexibility, strength period limit, and plastic deformation coefficient. In some cases, when the limits of wear of machine parts are equal, elements with a larger coefficient of deformation are more convenient. These regularities should be used in those cases when it is possible to apply the methods of fracture mechanics or when there are direct experimental data on the development of fatigue cracks, which make it possible to carry out a probabilistic assessment of the durability of structural elements at the stage of crack growth and to substantiate the corresponding limitations on the service life of products. For the safety margins of machine parts, the starting points are as follows: longitudinal bending stress in the sleeve of a solid machine part made of a plastic material cannot damage the part. The length of the first crack can be taken to be equal to several millimetres, which is determined by the capabilities of the simplest means of observation, and by the fact that in some cases even a crack of such length can be critical from the point of view of a potential brittle fracture. In this regard, the fatigue resistance characteristics used in such a calculation should correspond to the point at which the first macroscopic crack appears.
