Modeling and analysis of drag-bit cutting
Description:
This report documents a finite-element analysis of drag-bit cutting using polycrystalline-diamond compact cutters. To verify the analysis capability, prototypic indention tests were performed on Berea sandstone specimens. Analysis of these tests, using measured material properties, predicted fairly well the experimentally observed fracture patterns and indention loads. The analysis of drag-bit cutting met with mixed success, being able to capture the major features of the cutting process, but n…
