Abstract:Drilling extra-terrestrial planets can be difficult, which is restrained by the payloads, power, and requirements of low axial force of rover posed by low environmental gravity, and drill bits can be trapped at a large depth, due to the accumulated spoils resulted from the low efficiency removal rate. This can cause motor to stall and draw excessive power. This work explores the opportunity of superposition of ultrasonic vibration on a vertical rotating auger in a variety of granular media. Ultrasonic vibratio… Show more
