Prediction Model of Drilling Performance for Percussive Rock Drilling Tool
This study suggests a method for quantitatively estimating the drilling performance of the down-the-hole (DTH) hammer during percussive drilling of rock surfaces. A pneumatic dynamic model of the DTH hammer was developed that considers the mass flow rate

Drilling Processes with Hydraulic Percussion Rock Drills
Rock drills were developed about two hundred years ago, and hydraulic percussion rock drills are about half-century old. Performance and efficiency of rock drills have been increased by a number of researchers and engineers.

Learning Action Models: Qualitative Approach [PDF]
In dynamic epistemic logic, actions are described using action models. In this paper we introduce a framework for studying learnability of action models from observations. We present first results concerning propositional action models.

Penetration Test with Worn Button Bits for Rock Drilling.
Right now button bits are widely used in rock drilling. Considerable effort has been expended by manufactures to increase performance and durability of the button bits. However, most of them were conducted on try and error basis mainly because high level acceleration and vibration in rock drilling prevented accurate sensing and fundamental data ...

Force-penetration curves of a button bit generated during impact penetration into rock
Abstract To improve the performance and efficiency of percussion rock drills, it is essential to understand the impact penetration behavior of a bit drilling into rock. However, little knowledge to date has been published about the penetration behavior of the button bit, which is commonly used for hard rock.

Force-Penetration Curves with a Button Bit in the Percussive Drilling
A force-penetration relationship is considered to be closely related to the deformation and fracture mechanism at the bit-rock interface. In this study, a testing machine in which a piston, a rod or a bit can be easily changed was developed for laboratory impact-penetration test simulating the in-situ percussive drilling.
