Abstract: This paper presents a simulation study to evaluate the combined effect of cutting depth (drilling rate) and wear (bit dull) on the thermal response of polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) ...

Abstract: An analytical development of a new mechanistic drilling model for polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits is presented. The derivation accounts for static balance of forces acting on a single ...

Abstract: This paper presents an advanced concept in drilling optimization—the dynamic drilling strategy. The dynamic drilling strategy is a new methodology of drilling process planning and control; it ...
