Numerical simulation and structural optimisation of sealing performance for rubber packers
Rubber packers play a crucial role in extracting unconventional oil and gas reserves using hydraulic fracturing methods. This article conducts finite element modelling and analysis of one typical rubber packer, predicts its sealing performance and optimises its structural parameters. The key structure parameters of the rubber packer are regarded as design variables and the optimisation is carried out using the design of experiment (DOE) analysis and the full factorial design methods through Isight software. This study investigates the influence of major structure parameters on sealing performance. The optimal structure parameters for achieving the best sealing effect are attained, which are chamfer angle at the rubber sleeve end of 47.5°, rubber sleeve thickness of 22 mm, rubber sleeve height of 75 mm and rubber sleeve end width of 11 mm, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Rubber Research is devoted to both natural and synthetic rubbers, as well as to related disciplines. The scope of the journal encompasses all aspects of rubber from the core disciplines of biology, physics and chemistry, as well as economics. As a specialised field, rubber science includes within its niche a vast potential of innovative and value-added research areas yet to be explored. This peer reviewed publication focuses on the results of active experimental research and authoritative reviews on all aspects of rubber science.
The Journal of Rubber Research welcomes research on:
the upstream, including crop management, crop improvement and protection, and biotechnology;
the midstream, including processing and effluent management;
the downstream, including rubber engineering and product design, advanced rubber technology, latex science and technology, and chemistry and materials exploratory;
economics, including the economics of rubber production, consumption, and market analysis.
The Journal of Rubber Research serves to build a collective knowledge base while communicating information and validating the quality of research within the discipline, and bringing together work from experts in rubber science and related disciplines.
Scientists in both academia and industry involved in researching and working with all aspects of rubber will find this journal to be both source of information and a gateway for their own publications.
