Fractional-order controllers for stick-slip vibration mitigation in oil well drill-strings
( SAGE , 2021 , Article)Drillstring–borehole interaction can produce severely damaging vibrations. An example is stick–slip vibration, which negatively affects drilling performance, tool integrity and completion time, and costs. Attempts to ... -
Vibration of Periodic Drill-Strings with Local Sources of Resonance
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2021 , Article)A new class of drill-strings is proposed for attenuating undesirable vibrations to ensure effective operation. The drill-string is provided with passive periodic inserts, which are integrated with sources of local resonance ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Vibration Control of Nonrotating Periodic Drill Strings
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers , 2021 , Article)During the drilling process in oil and gas fields, slender drill strings often experience a multitude of complex and simultaneous vibrational phenomena. Drill string vibrations hinder the drilling process and can cause ... -
Towards a simplified technique for crack recognition in gearing systems
( Academie des sciences , 2022 , Article)This paper presents a simple and effective method to identify and quantify the existence of cracks in the teeth roots of spur gears. The problem was numerically analyzed through finite element-based simulation with SolidWorks ... -
Calculating the response of waveguides to base excitation using the wave and finite element method
( SAGE , 2021 , Article)The prediction of the response of waveguides to time-harmonic base excitations has many applications in mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering. The response to base excitations can be obtained analytically for simple ... -
Hybrid fuzzy sliding mode for stick-slip suppression in drill string systems
( Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers , 2022 , Article)Stick-slip vibration is one of the main factors that contribute greatly to reducing the service life of drill string equipment and decreasing the efficiency of the overall drilling system. Thus, it would be very desirable ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of damping in a hybrid automotive damper combining viscous and multiple-impact mechanisms
( SAGE , 2022 , Article)One of the least investigated approaches in passive vibration control is the possibility of combining different types of dampers that use different damping principles. Such a combination process, if wisely designed and ... -
Design and efficiency evaluation of a new wearable device for multi-degree suppression of hand pathological tremor
( SAGE , 2023 , Article)Sufferers of onset upper limb tremors find difficulty performing daily tasks due to rapid involuntary movements. Traditional treatments being offered help alleviate symptoms but are costly and can be invasive. Wearable ... -
Using image processing techniques in computational mechanics
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)The implementation methods of finite element analysis (FEA) have remained essentially unchanged since the inception of FEA in the 1960s. Alterations of any of the input or design parameters to the FEA model can potentially ... -
Enhancing the damping effect of MRF damper using an external magnetic excitation system
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2023 , Article)The magnetic field generated by the damper’s magnetic circuit governs the yield stress value of the Magnetroholgical Fluid (MRF) damper and hence its damping effect. This paper contributes to the literature on the development ... -
Cryptographic ransomware encryption detection: Survey
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)The ransomware threat has loomed over our digital life since 1989. Criminals use this type of cyber attack to lock or encrypt victims' data, often coercing them to pay exorbitant amounts in ransom. The damage ransomware ... -
