... Abstract In this paper, a state-of-the-art wire rope is chosen for investigation regarding its applicability as a sucker rod string. Finite element simulation with Abaqus has been used for a detailed analysis of the rope's performance and possible failures along with its length. The sucker rod...

... the reciprocating movements of the piston. The centerline of the main frame coincides with that of the casing, and so there is no unbalance loading. Substituting for the polish rod, the piston rod of the pumping unit connects directly with the sucker rod. The elimination of pulley, wire rope, rope hanger...

...) that have looked at corrosion mechanisms for chain and wire rope, as well as remaining life assessment for corroded chain links. Recent advances in understanding of wire rope birdcage formation and degredation will also be presented. Improvements to the approaches to management of mooring integrity...
