Project:
Shock
Dynamics of Oilwell Drilling Tools, in collaboration with the Schlumberger Research Center
Bottom hole drilling
tools may be subjected to severe impacts during operation that can lead to
failure. The aim of my work is to understand the shock dynamics and other factors
that can cause damage to the tool. In particular internal shocks and
friction between the tools component are investigated. The techniques
utilised to study the physics of the problem include method in both the
frequency and time domain, including the Dynamic Stiffness Method applied
to shells, a novel Asymptotic Approach, the Statistical Energy Analysis and
the FEM/SEA hybrid method. Outcome of this research have potential
application to other engineering field where impact and/or friction between
structural components are involved
