Purpose This study aims to investigate the efficacy of micro dimple in inhibiting stick-slip phenomenon on the sliding guideway. Design/methodology/approach In this study, micro-dimples were fabricated by laser on surfaces of steel disk and guideway. The disks and guideways were respectively performed pin-on-disk tribological tests and working condition experiments to study differences in lubrication condition and friction stability between textured and untextured surfaces. Findings Micro-dimples help reduce critical sliding speed that allows contact surfaces to enter in hydrodynamic lubrication regime. This increases hydrodynamic lubrication range and narrows speed range where stick-slip phenomenon can occur, enhancing sliding guideway’s adaptability for broader working conditions. Furthermore, friction stability on the textured surface improved, lowering the occurrence possibility of stick-slip phenomenon. Finally, difference between static and kinetic frictions on the textured surface is lower relative to the untextured surface, which decreases the critical velocity when the stick-slip phenomenon occurs. Originality/value The results indicate that laser-textured micro-dimples are significantly conducive to inhibit stick-slip phenomenon, thus providing smoother movement for the guideway and eventually increasing precision of the machine.

Slip Phenomenon

Stick-slip phenomenon in some mechanical structures, especially in machine tools, should be eliminated or inhibited, otherwise the vibration will occur and the position error will inevitably be obtained. In this study, different kinds of surface textures were carried out on the lower samples of the pin-on-disk contact. The starting process of the machine tools was simulated on an Rtec-Multi-Function Tribometer. The stick-slip phenomenon was observed in each kind of samples. However, the stick-slip phenomenon of smooth sample is larger than that of the textured samples. The bulge-textured surface shows excellent anti-stick-slip effect, and the critical stick-slip speed of bulge-textured surface is 95.9% lower than that of the smooth surface. Simultaneously, the anti-stick-slip effect of bulge-textured surface is superior to that of the dent-shaped texturing surface. What’s more, when the amount of lubricating oil is 15 mL, the standard deviation values of friction coefficient and critical speed of stick-slip phenomena (rotational speed when the standard deviation of friction coefficient is abrupt) are the lowest at different rotational speeds. It can be predicted that the bulge textures and adequate amount of lubricating oil (15 mL) can eliminate stick-slip phenomenon when processed in the surface of the machine tool because the bulge textures and adequate amount of lubricating oil can improve frictional state effectively and avoid the slip of the contact surface.

Effect Of Surface

A theoretical study is carried out to investigate the comprehensive effect of the machined roughness and fabricated textures, by solving the average Reynolds equation coupled with a mass-conservative cavitation algorithm and taking into account asperity contact. We analyzed the influence of surface roughness, which is represented by the combined root-mean-square roughness σ and surface pattern parameter γ on the optimum texture parameters including the dimple depth-over-diameter ratio and area density under hydrodynamic and mixed lubrication conditions. The results show that the effect of surface roughness on load-carrying capacity can be ignored under hydrodynamic lubrication condition. Furthermore, the optimum texture parameters under hydrodynamic lubrication condition and the optimum dimple depth-over-diameter ratio under mixed lubrication condition are determined at minimized friction coefficient, which can be taken as the same for smooth-textured surface and rough-textured surface. The corresponding minimum friction coefficient increases with increasing σ and γ, and decreasing dimple area density under mixed lubrication condition.

Slip Phenomenon

PurposeThe drill string vibrations can create harmful effects on drilling performance because they generate the stick-slip phenomenon which reduces the quality of drilling and decreases the penetration rate and may affect the robustness of the designed controller. For this reason, it is necessary to carefully test the different rock-bit contact models and analyze their influences on system stability in order to mitigate the vibrations. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of rock-bit interaction on high-frequency stick-slip vibration severity in rotary drilling systems.Design/methodology/approachThe main objective of this study is an overview of the influence of the rock-bit interaction models on the bit dynamics. A total of three models have been considered, and the drilling parameters have been varied in order to study the reliability of the models. Moreover, a comparison between these models has allowed the determination of the most reliable function for stick-slip phenomenon.FindingsThe torsional model with three degrees of freedom has been considered in order to highlight the effectiveness of the comparative study. Based on the obtained results, it has been concluded that the rock-bit interaction model has big influences on the response of the rotary drilling system. Therefore, it is recommended to consider the results of this study in order to design and implement a robust control system to mitigate harmful vibrations; the practical implementation of this model can be advantageous in designing a smart rotary drilling system.Originality/valueMany rock-bit functions have been proposed in the literature, but no study has been dedicated to compare them; this is the main contribution of this study. Moreover, a case study of harmonic torsional vibrations analysis has been carried out in well-A, which is located in an Algerian hydrocarbons field, the indices of vibrations detection are given with their preventions.

Micro Dimples

Micro-dimples on the surface of lubricated sliding contacts can act as mini-hydrodynamic bearings. The pressure generated within these dimples tends to separate the surfaces and reduce the number of asperities in contact, thereby lowering the average coefficient of friction and moving the lubrication condition to the more stable hydrodynamic lubrication regime. An experimental study on the effects of laser surface modifications for friction reduction is presented through the use of several experimental test rigs. Micro-dimples were generated with an Nd-YAG laser on the surface of flat samples for testing in constant speed and reciprocating motion test rigs. These simple geometries were used to investigate the phenomenon and validate existing analytical models. Modifications to the top dead center region of an actual cylinder liner were evaluated with a motored, small-engine dynamometer. The results demonstrated that measurable friction reductions can be achieved using this approach.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of texture on hydrodynamic lubrication performance of slide surface from the perspective of skewness and kurtosis. Design/methodology/approach Hydrodynamic lubrication theoretical model of textured surface was established based on two-dimensional Reynolds equation, and finite difference algorithm was used as the numerical approach in the paper. Skewness and kurtosis of surface were obtained by discrete calculation. Findings Numerical analysis results show that the influence law of texture types on skewness, kurtosis and hydrodynamic lubrication was the more negative skewness and higher kurtosis, the better hydrodynamic lubrication performance when texture cross section contour and geometric parameters were the same. Similarly, the same influence law of skewness, kurtosis and hydrodynamic lubrication performance by texture cross-section contour was observed. However, it was unable to evaluate the effect of texture angle on hydrodynamic lubrication performance of textured surface from the perspective of skewness and kurtosis. Originality/value This paper confirms the feasibility of evaluating influence of texture types and texture cross-section contour on hydrodynamic lubrication performance from the perspective of skewness and kurtosis and provides a way to optimize texture type and texture cross section.

Slip Phenomenon

Stick-slip is a major problem in offshore drilling because it may cause damage to the drill bit as well as crushing or grinding the sediment layer, which is crucial problem in scientific drilling because the purpose of the scientific drilling is to recover core samples from the layers. To mitigate stick-slip, first of all it is necessary to establish a model of the torsional motion of the drill bit and express the stick-slip phenomenon. Toward this end, the present study proposes a model of torsional waves propagating in a drillstring. An analytical model is developed and used to derive a neutral delay differential equation (NDDE), a special type of equation that requires time history, and an analytical model of stick-slip is derived for friction models between the drill bit and the layer as well as the rotation speed applied to the uppermost part of the drill string. In this study, the stick-slip model is numerically analyzed for several conditions and a time series of the bit motions is obtained. Based on the analytical results, the appearance of stick-slip and its severity are discussed. A small-scale model experiment was conducted in a water tank to observe the stick-slip phenomenon, and the result is discussed with numerical analysis. In addition, utilizing surface drilling data acquired from the actual drilling operations of the scientific drillship Chikyu, occurrence of stick-slip phenomenon is discussed.
