Based on elastic mechanics and by use of thick cylinder theory, this paper presents a finite element analysis model with interference fit and axial load on P-110S conic threaded connections and the tooth load distributions on contact threaded surfaces were investigated. A 2D finite element model with elastic-plastic axisymmetric contact threaded surfaces was established and the tooth load distributions on its thread teeth were analyzed under different interference fit and axial load. Results for the loads on every engaged tooth are obtained. These indicate that the load distribution on the engaged teeth is not uniform, with the maximum tooth load concentrated on the first three pairs or the farthest two pairs of engaged teeth from the pin end and the middle teeth only bear a very small load. Such results are identical to the practical situation and indicate that the finite element model proposed in this paper is reasonable.
