drilling fluid is the most important lifeline of the drilling operation, that main task is facilitate the cuttings removal of the drilling. there are varieties of drilling fluids such as sodium bentonite based-drilling fluid is called “mud” and drilling foam or surfactant based-drilling fluid is called “soap”. the present work aims are study on the modified drilling mud properties by using the ...

The aim of this investigation is to devise a robust detection method for drill bit break-through when drilling into long bones using an automated drilling system that is associated with mechatronic assisted surgery. This investigation looks into the effects of system compliance and inherent drilling force fluctuation on the profiles of drilling force, drilling force, drilling between successive...

Due to the shortcomings of the traditional drilling way, as well as the complexity and difficult mathematical model of the drilling process, etc, this paper briefly analyses the principle of auto-drilling system on AC frequency conversion and the relationship among all factors that affects on the auto-drilling and puts forward a technology that combines parameters' self-tuning fuzzy control wit...

– World wide drilling is developing for oil, gas or water resources. Electric motors power 75% of the total drilling rigs installation, augmenting to 95% for the case of Romania. Monitoring diesel generators micro-power station and motors of the rig is the second important thing to do and complete the main task of drilling process monitoring. This paper describe a monitoring and control system ...

Drilling samples of lunar soil is an important and indispensable part of China’s lunar exploration project. The drill bit temperature during the drilling process is one of the key concerns for scholars, especially for the hard lunar rock drilling in vacuum. In this article, the simulation analysis of drilling in atmosphere and vacuum is conducted. Moreover, a fiber grating temperature measuring...

Future in-situ lunar/martian resource utilization and characterization, as well as the scientific search for life on Mars, will require access to the subsurface and hence drilling. Drilling on Earth is hard – an art form more than an engineering discipline. The limited mass, energy and manpower in planetary drilling situations makes application of terrestrial drilling techniques problematic. Th...

Introduction: Commercial drilling, even deep-sea or remote, depends on human teleoperation. Lightspeed delays mean that coring and drilling beyond the Moon requires automation in order to not get stuck or risk mission failure. The Drilling Automation for Mars Exploration (DAME) is a NASA project for developing critical-path drilling software technologies. The DAME project’s purpose was to devel...

The aim of the present study was to compare bone-collecting capacity of bone harvesting device and minimally irrigated low-speed drilling using three implant systems. One bone harvesting device and three commercially available drill systems were compared using the osteotomies on bovine rib bones. The amount of the collected bone particle and particle size (<500 μm: small, 500-1000 μm: medium, a...

Information transmission is an important part of the wellbore trajectory automatic control system. Combined with the characteristics of the guided drilling system, drilling fluid pulse is selected as a tool for trajectory control. Negative pulse transmission of drilling fluid is one of the key technologies to realize wellbore trajectory automatic control. In this paper, the working principle of...

PURPOSE Bone drilling is a major part of orthopaedic surgery performed during the internal fixation of fractured bones. At present, information related to drilling force, drilling torque, rate of drill-bit penetration and drill-bit rotational speed is not available to orthopaedic surgeons, clinicians and researchers as bone drilling is performed manually. METHODS This study demonstrates that ...
