Testing geologic and geometric effects on drilling operations using torque and drag models [PDF]

, 2018
Intuitively, geologic and geometric effects on torque and drag should be significant. But literature suggests otherwise. Lesage et al. (1988) wrote that friction coefficients are not affected by lithology and hole angle, among other things.

Arthropod‐Inspired Miniature Modular Vibration Direct‐Drive Robot With Untethered Locomotion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an arthropod‐inspired untethered miniature modular vibration direct‐drive robot. By utilizing standardized driving units and nested locking interfaces, on‐demand reconfiguration into quadruped, hexapod, octopod, and circular morphologies is achieved.

Drag Reduction Control for Torsion and Oscillation in Top Drive System Slide Drilling

Shiyou jixie, 2018
The domestic technology of drag reduction control for torsion and oscillation in top drive system (TDS) slide drilling is not yet mature. The torque limit and torsion angle during drilling are still set by experience, which is inconsistent with the ...

Modeling of the Dynamics of Conical Separate Plates in a Wet Multi-Disc Clutch

Lubricants
Wet multi-disc clutches in transmission systems suffer from the incomplete separation of the friction components, which raises the drag torque and results in power loss and heightened fuel consumption.

Field‐Driven Active Colloids as Distributed Micromachines: Bridging Physics, Control, and Function Across Length Scales

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Field‐driven active colloids are framed as distributed micromachines in which externally supplied power, sensing, and control regulate task‐relevant states. By closing the loop between particle behavior, imaging, computation, and electric or magnetic actuation, these systems can progress from programmable motion toward adaptive functional outcomes ...

Development of Thrust, Torque, and Power Estimation Model, and Prediction Performance of Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machine in Mixed-Face Strata

Applied Sciences
In this paper, a theoretical estimation model of TBM thrust, torque, and power in the rock–soil interface (RSI) of mixed ground is developed, including a new force model for the drag cutter that accounts for chamber pressure and soil friction.

Emergent Spinning and Orbital Motion in Clustered Wind-Assisted Flyers. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Inspired by natural snowflake geometries, paper‐cut flyers exhibit geometry‐defined spinning and orbital motions during cluster formation in a wind tunnel. Collective flights of multiple paperflakes reveal dynamic clustering, fragmentation, and continuously evolving spin behaviors.

Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...
