To enable a measurement sub to serve reliably under downhole complex conditions, the structural parameters optimization of its key but weak elastic cell is systematically studied. First, the multiple relations among measurement sensitivities, structural stiffnesses, and strength during structural parameters design are summarized. Second, the selection of the structural parameters of the elastic cell is characterized as a multi-objective optimization model, which is solved using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). Furthermore, the finite element method (FEM) is used to verify the measurement performance and static strength of the proposed structure. Finally, transient dynamics analysis is applied to investigate the dynamic strength of the designed structure. The results show that the proposed parameters optimization strategy can quickly obtain the database for the structural parameters design of an elastic cell. The static analysis results based on the FEM further verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Transient dynamic analysis also reveals the relative rigor of the proposed methodology framework to some extent. This work has practical significance for improving the drilling efficiency and reducing drilling risks. In addition, this proposed methodology has good extensibility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19153343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,30]],"date-time":"2019-07-30T11:15:56Z","timestamp":1564485356000},"page":"3343","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Structural Parameters Optimization of Elastic Cell in a Near-Bit Drilling Engineering Parameters Measurement Sub"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Long","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"},{"name":"Qil &amp; Gas CAE Technology Research Center, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"}]},{"given":"Yifei","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"},{"name":"Qil &amp; Gas CAE Technology Research Center, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangzhen","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qil &amp; Gas CAE Technology Research Center, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"},{"name":"College of Pipeline and Civil Engineering, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1889-5968","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"},{"name":"Qil &amp; Gas CAE Technology Research Center, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"387","DOI":"10.1080\/15567249.2016.1148083","article-title":"Unconventional energy sources: Safety impacts, opportunities, and economic challenges","volume":"12","author":"Demirbas","year":"2017","journal-title":"Energy Sources Part B"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"AbdelMawla, A.
