Energy Transmission in Percussive Drilling [PDF]

open access: yesFall Meeting of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of AIME, 1959
Abstract A simple analysis of the mechanics of stress and energy transmission in percussive drilling is presented. Four basic components of the system are recognized:the hammer,the drill rod,the bit, andthe rock and the effect of each in determining the ultimate energy transmitted into the rock is considered.
