Investigation of API 8 round casing connection performance Part two: stresses and criteria

OSTI ID:5801847
Comparison of stresses in Part One showed that the API 8 Round threaded casing connection could be accurately analyzed with finite element methods, with models that both included and excluded the threads. Part Two further investigates the effects of thread tapers and external loads on connection stresses. It also assumes a criteria for determining maximum assembly interference using the finite element models. Tension loading is shown to affect pin hoop stresses, while being insignificant to coupling hoop stresses. Hand calculated stresses are shown to give reasonable hoop stress values.
