Abstract
Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit is one of the most widely used drill bits for improving the rate of penetration in deep oil and gas well and geothermal well. However, the dynamic rock fragmentation mechanics characteristics of PDC bits are still unclearly. A coupled fragmentation mechanics model of PDC cutter-rock interaction is established by combining the mixed fragmentation modes with dynamic strength. The coupling influence laws of cutter angle, cutting depth, dynamic strength ratio, breaking modes on the horizontal force coefficient (HFC), vertical force coefficient (VFC) and specific energy are analyzed. The model of this paper can optimize cutter inclination angle, cutting depth and minimum specific energy. With the increase of the cutter inclination angle, the dynamic VFC changes into two modes. The definition of the dynamic modes depends on the dynamic strength ratio. As the cutting angle increases, the cutting force increases. The cutting force increases nonlinearly with increasing cutting depth. The specific energy of rock fragmentation increases nonlinearly with increasing cutting depth. With the increase of dynamic strength, the specific energy of rock fragmentation increases nonlinearly. When the input-energy increases, the rate of penetration response is divided into three stages. The results have important guiding significance for the PDC bit design and drilling parameters optimization to increase the rate of penetration and the efficiency of exploration and development.
