Stochastic modeling for hysteretic bit–rock interaction of a drill string under torsional vibrations

Abstract

This paper aims at constructing a stochastic model for the hysteretic behaviour of the nonlinear bit-rock interaction of a drill string under torsional vibrations using field data. The proposed model takes into account the fluctuations of the stick-slip oscillations and the hysteretic effect due to the nonlinear bit-rock interaction observed during the drilling process. These fluctuations are modelled by introducing a stochastic process associated with the variations of the bit-rock interaction during the drilling. The parameters of the stochastic model are calibrated with field data. Finally, independent trajectories of the proposed stochastic model are generated and used to simulate the stochastic response of the drill string torsional dynamics in presence of random bit-rock interaction. The stochastic model is then used to estimate statistics on the stability of the drill string.

Bayesian model identification of higher-order frequency response functions for structures assembled by bolted joints

“…The main contribution of this work lies in proposing a new parameter estimation procedure in reduced numerical probabilistic models for representing the dynamics of bolted joint structures by propagating uncertainties in the coefficients that control the hysteresis loop. Moreover, although this paper investigates the first vibrating mode of a structure which carries complex nonlinear effects, the identification strategy here proposed may be suitable for dealing with hysteretic systems that potentially allow the use of smoothing procedures, such as the bit-rock interaction of a drill string [22] or even as a formulation in the parametric reduced-order models of jointed structures [23,24].…”

Structural and Electrical Dynamics of a Grating-Patterned Triboelectric Energy Harvester with Stick-Slip Oscillation and Magnetic Bistability

“…Those deformable and stretchable harvesters show a great potential in electronic skin, which has high competitiveness for next-generation energy, sensing and robotic applications [10]. In medical field, TEHs also make a great contribution, which can be integrated with a total knee replacement as a smart knee implant for routine monitoring without the need for any external power source throughout the entire life [11,12]. Due to the good linear relationship between the output voltage and external acceleration, TEHs can be used as self-powered acceleration sensors [13].…”

Gait Generation for Damaged Hexapods using a Genetic Algorithm

“…Real et al discuss numerous approaches, and the difficulties faced by each, to using machine learning for a variety of legged locomotion efforts [32]. This work focuses particularly on the approach of a hexapod system, which increases the generalized stability of gaits, walking in a straight path over smooth terrain.…”
