steps of the problem
Introduction 01
1- Frames and machines .

2- The machine is oil drilling rig.

3-Main purpose behind solving the problem is to

determine max and axial stresses for an inclined
beam.
 02

Solving steps
The problem:

Main Objective:

-Calculate Max axial stress

and Max shear stress acting
on the walking beam

-Compare the Max stresses

with the material allowable
stresses
 Assumption
Weight of Oil to be
pumped = 708 KN

Weight of Horse head =

162 KN

Length of Walking Beam Material Chosen:

= 12m
Steel G10950 HR
Hallow cross sectional Yield strss = 860 Mpa
dimensions as shown Density = 7360 Kg/m3
E = 207 GPa
 FBD

-Draw the FBD with the

distrubuted load, forces of
pumping, weight and reactions
of support.

-Analyze the forces into the x

and y planes.
 Reactions

-Apply the rules of

equilibrium

-Find the reactions and

force of pumping

Ry = 1808.9 KN
Rx = 658.5 KN
F = 870 KN
Diagrams
 Max Stresses
-Obtain the Max values for
shear force, normal force
and bending moment

-Maxium values apear to be

at the support, 6m from the
left of the beam

-Calculate the Max normal

stress and Max Shear stress

-Compare the Stress values

with the Max allowable
stress of Steel G10950 HR
 Conclusion 03
1- Maximum stress is less than yield stress of the
material

2- Factor of safety is 5.3 ,good for oil and gas

industry

3- other materials can be used which could cost

less but be less safe.
