Coupled axial-torsional dynamics in rotary drilling with state-dependent delay: stability and control

Nonlinear motions of a rotary drilling mechanism are considered, and a two degree-of-freedom model is developed to study the coupled axial-torsional dynamics of this system. In the model development, state-dependent time delay and nonlinearities that arise due to dry friction and loss of contact are considered. Stability analysis is carried out by using a semi-discretization scheme, and the results are presented in terms of stability volumes in the three-dimensional parameter space of spin speed, cutting depth, and a cutting coefficient. These stability volume plots can serve as a guide for choosing parameters for rotary drilling operations. A control strategy based on state and delayed-state feedback is presented with the goal of enlargening the stability region, and the effectiveness of this strategy to suppress stick-slip oscillations is illustrated.     

Bifurcations and the penetrating rate analysis of a model for percussive drilling

In this paper, we investigate a low dimensional model of percussive drilling with vibro-impact to mimic the nonlinear dynamics of the bounded progression. Non- holonomity which arises in the stick-slip caused by the impact during drilling fails to be correctly identified via the classical techniques. A reduced model without non-holono- mity is derived by the introduction of a new state variable, of which averaging technique is employed successfully to detect the periodic motions. Local bifurcations are presented directly by using C-L method. Numerical simulations and the penetrating rate analysis along different choices of parame- ters have been carried out to probe the nonlinear behaviour and the optimal penetrating rate of the drilling system.     

Non-planar responses of cantilevered pipes conveying fluid with intermediate motion constraints

In this paper, the nonlinear responses of a loosely constrained cantilevered pipe conveying fluid in the context of three-dimensional (3-D) dynamics are investigated. The pipe is allowed to oscillate in two perpendicular principal planes, and hence its 3-D motions are possible. Two types of motion constraints are considered. One type of constraints is the tube support plate (TSP) which comprises a plate with drilled holes for the pipe to pass through. A second type of constraints consists of two parallel bars (TPBs). The restraining force between the pipe and motion constraints is modeled by a smoothened-trilinear spring. In the theoretical analysis, the 3-D version of nonlinear equations is discretized via Galerkin’s method, and the resulting set of equations is solved using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration algorithm. The dynamical behaviors of the pipe system for varying flow velocities are presented in the form of bifurcation diagrams, time traces, power spectra diagrams and phase plots. Results show that both types of motion constraints have a significant influence on the dynamic responses of the cantilevered pipe. Compared to previous work dealing with the loosely constrained pipe with motions restricted to a plane, both planar and non-planar oscillations are explored in this 3-D version of pipe system. With increasing flow velocity, it is shown that both periodic and quasi-periodic motions can occur in the system of a cantilever with TPBs constraints. For a cantilevered pipe with TSP constraints, periodic, chaotic, quasi-periodic and sticking behaviors are detected. Of particular interest of this work is that quasi-periodic motions may be induced in the pipe system with either TPBs or TSP constraints, which have not been observed in the 2-D version of the same system. The results obtained in this work highlight the importance of consideration of the non-planar oscillations in cantilevered pipes subjected to loose constraints.     

Stability and response of a self-amplified braking system under velocity-dependent actuation force

Wedge brakes, featuring self-amplification, inspire good opportunity to obtain large normal force by small actuation force. A single degree of freedom torsional model with harmonic excitation for a driveline with a wedge brake is developed to investigate the effect of velocity-dependent actuation force. The stability analysis indicates that instability can occur even with a constant friction coefficient and is greatly influenced by the slope of the actuation force. Three bifurcation points are found: one stable, one unstable, and the other one Hopf. Phase portraits, time domain responses, Poincaré maps, and frequency spectra are provided by nonlinear computation. Three motions are observed: unidirectional stick-slip, bidirectional stick-slip, and non-stick-slip. Due to the self amplification, the wedge brake leads to more stick motions and more side bands compared with the conventional brake. By varying the slope, the dynamic response of the driveline can be synchronous or irregular multi-periodic motion. The dynamics at negative slope is studied further considering three other influencing factors, i.e., the initial actuation force, excitation frequency, and wedge angle. The results are provided by the comparison with those of the driveline with a conventional brake.     

波动钻压下阶梯钻柱系统稳定性研究

处于狭长井筒中的钻柱,其动力响应受到钻具组合、内外钻井液流动以及钻井参数等因素的影响,钻柱动力失稳导致的剧烈振动是井壁坍塌和钻具失效的重要原因。考虑到钻杆和钻铤在刚度和线密度上存在很大的差别,论文将钻柱简化为单阶梯输液管柱,钻井液沿着钻柱内部向下泵入并从环空返回地面。耦合考虑钻柱自重、随时间简谐变化的波动钻压、稳定器以及钻井液的水动力和阻尼力,建立了直井中钻柱横向振动的解析模型。利用有限单元法离散为四阶常微分方程后,采用Bolotin法得到临界频率方程确定系统的不稳定区范围,研究了钻压、钻杆长度、稳定器安装位置、钻井液的流速和密度等参数对系统稳定性影响的机理。研究表明：钻压的平均值和波动幅值都是钻柱失稳的驱动因素,而系统的稳定性对处于受拉状态的钻杆的长度变化不敏感。在论文所研究的参数范围内,降低钻井液流速和密度、下移稳定器的安装位置均有助于增强系统的稳定性。     

Analytical investigation of stick-slip motions in coupled brake-driveline systems

In this paper, we investigate the brake creep-groan problem by formulating the issues in terms of two dynamic sub-systems that are coupled at the friction interface, and thus, experience stick-slip motions. Thorough examination of the nature of discontinuous solutions using numerical methods is a useful prelude to analytical studies. We examine such dynamics through parametric studies for magnitude and rate of brake release, where the vehicle is initially at rest and under low constant drive torque. Dependency on the initial conditions and solution flow before reaching the orbit will thus be illustrated. Four types of motions (one steady sliding and three stick-slip) are found based on extensive studies. Our formulation and analysis should lead to a better understanding of the brake groan phenomenon and systems coupled by interfacial friction.

Experimental investigation of a single-degree-of-freedom system with Coulomb friction

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the dynamic behaviour of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDoF) system with a metal-to-metal contact under harmonic base or joined base-wall excitation. The experimental results are compared with those yielded by mathematical models based on a SDoF system with Coulomb damping. While previous experiments on friction-damped systems focused on the characterisation of the friction force, the proposed approach investigates the steady response of a SDoF system when different exciting frequencies and friction forces are applied. The experimental set-up consists of a single-storey building, where harmonic excitation is imposed on a base plate and a friction contact is achieved between a steel top plate and a brass disc. The experimental results are expressed in terms of displacement transmissibility, phase angle and top plate motion in the time and frequency domains. Both continuous and stick-slip motions are investigated. The main results achieved in this paper are: (1) the development of an experimental set-up capable of reproducing friction damping effects on a harmonically excited SDoF system; (2) the validation of the analytical model introduced by Marino et al. (Nonlinear Dyn, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11071-019-04983-x) and, particularly, the inversion of the transmissibility curves in the joined base-wall motion case; (3) the systematic observation of stick-slip phenomena and their validation with numerical results.     

A new criterion for occurrence of strick-slip motion in drive mechanism

This paper, using Karnopp's model of friction force and phase plane method, studies the stick-slip motion of the flexble drive mechanism. It is explained that a sudden drop of friction force is the essential source of stick-slip motion when the sliding is impending. A new criterion for occurrence of stick-slip motion is established. The stick-slip region and the stable region in a parameter plane are separated by a critical parameter curve. Moreover, for the stick-slip motion of the flexible drive mechanism without viscous damping, a parameter expression is obtained. The results may be used in design of the flexible drive mechanism.

Piecewise analysis of oblique vibro-impacting systems

A great number of studies have shown the complex nonlinear dynamics of mechanical systems with repeated normal impacts. An oblique frictional impact introduces even more complicated dynamics such as stick-slip motions to those systems. Hence, the dynamics of oblique vibro-impacting systems with possible sliding motion is an open problem. Based on a hybrid analysis of vibro-impact dynamics, kinematics and complementary conditions, a piecewise analysis method is developed in the paper to describe the sliding motion during an oblique impact. Thereby, a parametrically excited planar pendulum between two parallel rigid walls is studied as an illustrative example. The example, together with the corresponding numerical results, shows that the sliding impacts occur in such a system with a set of properly selected parameters.

Wave-induced dynamics of a particle on a thin circular plate

In this paper, the dynamics of a particle placed on a thin circular plate carrying circumferential harmonic travelling wave is studied. Coulomb friction is used to model the particle–surface interaction. Distinct regions on the plate surface are identified where either of the three phases of particle motion, namely jumping, sliding and sticking, occurs. Also, the effect of wave frequency and the plate geometry on these regions is studied. Interestingly, there exists an optimum plate thickness for which the region of sliding is maximum. At certain wave frequencies, from the numerical simulations within sticking and sliding regions, it is observed that the average particle motion spirals inwards towards the plate centre. Such an average motion is observed whenever the particle is placed initially with a zero velocity relative to the plate surface. The Gedanken experiments discussed herein provide cogent explanations to all the observed average (slow) dynamics and are also found to be useful in predicting the slow dynamics of the particle a priori, that is, before the actual numerical simulations. The particle’s velocity couples the radial and tangential sliding friction components and is found to be the key physical feature that explains the observed behaviour. Also, it is observed that the plate surface excited by circumferential travelling waves can provide acoustic lubrication to a particle by reducing the limiting force required to move it relative to the surface. The methods discussed in this paper can be extended to study the dynamics of a group of particles (granular materials) and extended rigid bodies, interacting with such surface waves.

Nonlinear dynamics of cantilevered pipes conveying fluid: Towards a further understanding of the effect of loose constraints

The nonlinear dynamics of a fluid-conveying cantilevered pipe with loose constraints placed somewhere along its length is investigated. The main objective of this study is to determine the effects of several geometrical and physical parameters of the loose constraints on the characteristics and behavior of pipes conveying fluid. Based on the full nonlinear equation of motion, the dynamical behavior of the pipe system is investigated. Phase portraits and bifurcation diagrams are constructed for a selected set of system parameters. Typical results are firstly compared to numerical ones reported previously and excellent agreement is obtained. Then, the threshold flow velocities for several key bifurcations including pitchfork, period doubling, chaos, and sticking behaviors are predicted, showing that in many cases, the gap size, stiffness, and asymmetry of the loose constraints have remarkable effects on the nonlinear responses of the cantilevered pipe conveying fluid. For a pipe system with small/large constraint gap sizes, small constraint stiffness, or large constraint offset, some of the complex dynamical behaviors including chaos and period-doubling bifurcations would disappear, at least in the flow velocity range of interest.     

VIBRO-IMPACT DYNAMICS OF PIPE CONVEYING FLUID SUBJECTED TO RIGID CLEARANCE CONSTRAINT 1)

管道与间隙约束间的碰撞振动是工程输流管结构的一个重要动力学现象. 迄今,人们通常采用光滑的非线性弹簧来模拟管道与间隙约束之间的碰撞力,但这种光滑的碰撞力无法真实反映碰撞前后管道状态向量的非光滑传递特征. 本文基于非光滑理论建立了具有刚性间隙约束简支输流管的非线性碰撞振动模型,利用 Galerkin 法离散了无穷维的管道模型, 并引入恢复系数构造了碰撞前后管道各处状态向量的传递矩阵,运用四阶龙格库塔法分析了脉动内流激励下管道与刚性间隙约束的非光滑碰撞振动现象,着重讨论了刚性间隙约束参数对管道动态响应随流速脉动频率变化的影响规律,特别是碰撞振动的周期性运动规律. 研究结果表明,刚性约束间隙值对管道碰撞振动行为的影响较大,在某些脉动频率下管道会出现多周期和非周期性的运动形态,还可出现非光滑系统特有的黏滑现象. 此外,碰撞恢复系数对管道振动的影响也比较显著,较小的恢复系数值更容易使管道在大范围脉动频率区间出现复杂的非周期碰撞振动.

5-1/2 FH钻杆接头极限承载能力研究

随着超深井、定向井、水平井、大位移井及大斜度井在石油钻井工程中的广泛应用,由井下复杂工况引起的钻杆接头过早失效问题日益突出,导致钻井周期增长,成本增加,成为制约钻井工程效益的主要因素之一.近年来,不少学者对钻杆接头进行了大量研究,多数采用二维轴对称模型,少数采用三维力学模型,但并未同时考虑螺纹升角和井眼弯曲作用等因素的影响,而钻杆接头的极限承载能力研究更是鲜见报道.针对上述问题,基于虚功原理、von Mises屈服原则及接触非线性理论,同时考虑螺纹升角和井眼弯曲作用,建立了钻杆接头的三维数值仿真模型与井眼曲率到加载弯矩的转换模型,研究了钻杆接头的上扣特性、井眼曲率对连接强度和密封性能的影响,考虑预紧力、弯曲载荷及动载安全系数,计算了钻杆接头的极限工作拉力和极限工作扭矩.研究结果表明:上扣扭矩使钻杆接头产生一定的初始接触压力,保证钻杆接头井下作业过程中的连接强度与密封性能;井眼曲率对钻杆接头井下作业过程中的连接强度与密封性能影响极大,常见的某些工况会导致钻杆接头的连接强度和密封性能丧失,考虑服役时的随机振动与冲击,常规的超深井、水平井、定向井、大位移井及大斜度井弯曲段钻杆接头的设计和选型应着重考虑井眼曲率的影响;针对设计的每种钻杆接头,都应考虑常见的井眼曲率和轴向拉伸载荷进行极限工作拉力和极限工作扭矩的精细化数值计算,以确保其安全工作.     

Nonlinear vibrations of structures induced by dry friction

The chattering of machine tools, the squealing noise generated by tram wheels in narrow curves and the noise of band saws are examples of physical processes in which elastic structures exhibit self-sustained stick-slip vibrations. The nonlinear contact forces are often due to dry friction. Periodic, multiperiodic, and chaotic motions can occur, depending on the parameters.Because the governing equations of motion are non-integrable, solutions can only be determined by numerical integration methods. The numerical investigations of continuous structures requires themodal approach to reduce the number of degrees of freedom.As an example, a beam system has been investigated numerically and experimentally in this paper. The nonlinear motion of a point of the continuous structure has been measured by a specially developedlaser vibrometer.The friction characteristic has been measured directly and identified from a measured time series by means of amodal state observer. The correlation dimension, which represents a lower bound of thefractal dimension, has been calculated using thecorrelation integral method from a measured time series of the beam system.     

A comprehensive study on the behavior of a rigid block on an oscillating ground with friction,elastic and viscous forces

This paper investigates the behavior of a non-linear mechanical model where a block is driven by an oscillating ground through Coulomb friction, a linear viscous damper and a linear spring. The governing equation is solved analytically for different partial configurations: friction only, friction with viscous damping, friction with a linear restoring force, and for the complete model. Using dimensionless groups, the analysis of the block motion provides a comprehensive set of information on the motion regime (stick, stick-slip or permanent sliding), on the dominant energies or forces, on the resonance and on the amplification of the ground oscillation by the system. The limit between the stick-slip regime and the permanent slipping regime is found either analytically or numerically. It is also shown that there exists a set of parameters for which the friction force, the viscous dissipative force and the elastic restoring force are equal.
