the dogleg severity is one of the most important parameters in directional drilling. improvement of these indicators actually means choosing the best conditions for the directional drilling in order to reach the target point. selection of high levels of the dogleg severity actually means minimizing well trajectory, but on the other hand, increases fatigue in drill string, increases torque and d...

Composites are more and more increasing their importance as one of the most interesting group of materials, because of their unique properties. Hole drilling operations are common in composite parts to facilitate fastener assembly. As composites are non-homogeneous this operation causes some damages like delamination and others that reduce bearing and fatigue strength of the composite part. A p...

Electric discharge drill machine (EDDM) is a spark erosion process to produce micro-holes in conductive materials. This process is widely used in aerospace, medical, dental and automobile industries. As for the performance evaluation of the electric discharge drilling machine, it is very necessary to study the process parameters of machine tool. In this research paper, a brass rod 2 mm diameter...

Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic composites have an increased application in recent days, due to its enhanced structural, mechanical and thermal properties. The heterogeneous nature of this kind of materials makes complications during machining operations. Drilling of holes in GFRP becomes almost unavoidable in fabrication. However, drilling is a common machining practice for assembly of componen...

Micro drilled holes are utilized in many of today's fabrication processes.Precision production processes in industries are trending toward the use of smaller holeswith higher aspect ratios, and higher speed operation for micro deep hole drilling. However,undesirable characteristics related to micro drilling such as small signal-to-noise ratios,wandering drill motion, high aspect ratio, and exce...

This investigation was undertaken to determine the relative effects of recommended land spraying while drilling (LWD) loading rate application for a source of water-based drilling waste material on selected soil properties and phytotoxicity. Drilling waste material was obtained from a well where a nitrate gypsum water based product was used to formulate the drilling fluid. The fluid and associa...

This paper is concerned with optimization of surface roughness when drilling of stainless steel SS304 with HSS drill. This study included drilling of SS304 with supply of Sic abrasive having grain size 650 and 1250 mesh size through abrasive slurry system. Abrasives not only used for cooling purpose but also increases the surface finish, MRR and reduce tool wear. Experiments were conducted on a...

The main task of drilling the formation by the bit is done via scraping, crushing and grinding. Discharging the fluid from the bit nozzles is done with high pressure which assists to break the rocks. Different parameters affect the bit selection and design for each drilling formation, but the most important one is drillability that depends on hardness of the formation. In this paper, the design...

Purpose: of this paper is to investigate tool wear monitoring of drilling process by acoustic emission (AE). Design/methodology/approach: of tool wear monitoring in drilling acquires the AE signal and analyses it in the frequency domain. Findings: Tool wear in drilling significantly influences the AE signal independently of the measuring method. This influence is evidently different for various...
