The objective of this study to minimize the mast deformation by structural optimization of the mast
of rotary drilling rig in order to better control its functional operation and improve its performance. For this
purpose, a novel optimization scheme for the mast of rotary drilling rig is formulated using 3D graphics
software Pro/E together with Finite Element Method. Back sliding wheel installed on the mast is firstly proved
to reduce the deformation of the mast of rotary drilling rig effectively. The position of back sliding wheel
relative to the mast of rotary drilling rig is adjusted, together with the position of pulley yoke, to obtain the
minimum deformation of the mast of rotary drilling rig, which improves the stability of the mast of rotary
drilling rig. Optimization efficiency and computational accuracy are demonstrated numerically.
Key words: Back sliding wheel, FEA, mast, pulley yoke, rotary drilling rig, ,
