Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits experience a serious wear problem in drilling tight gravel layers. To achieve efficient drilling and prolong the bit service life, a simplified model of a PDC bit with double cutting teeth was established by using finite-element numerical simulation technology, and the rock-breaking process of PDC bit cutting teeth was simulated using the Archard wear principle. The numerical simulation results of the wear loss of the PDC bit cutting teeth, such as the caster angle, temperature, linear velocity, and bit pressure, as well as previous experimental research results, were combined into a training dataset. Then, machine learning methods for equal-probability gene expression programming (EP-GEP) were used. Based on the accuracy of the training set, the effectiveness of this method in predicting the wear of PDC bits was demonstrated by verifying the dataset. Finally, a prediction dataset was established by a Latin hypercube experiment and finite-element numerical simulation. Through comparison with the EP-GEP prediction results, it was verified that the prediction accuracy of this method meets actual engineering needs. The results of the sensitivity analysis method for the gray correlation degree show that the degree of influence of bit wear is in the order of temperature, back dip angle of the PDC cutter, linear speed, and bit pressure. These results demonstrate that when an actual PDC bit is drilling hard strata such as a conglomerate layer, after the local high temperature is generated in the formation cut by the bit, appropriate cooling measures should be taken to increase the bit pressure and reduce the rotating speed appropriately. Doing so can effectively reduce the wear of the bit and prolong its service life. This study provides guidance for predicting the wear of a PDC bit when drilling in conglomerate, adjusting drilling parameters reasonably, and prolonging the service life of the bit.

In order to solve thermal deformation, the finite element numerical simulation of two kind of tilting pad thrust bearing is made for the same pad surface, and thermal deformation is made to analyze comparatively. The results show that the temperature field, the deformation field and the values of pad are similar for two different supported thrust bearing (point, line support) under the same operating condition. The pad temperature and deformation will increase with the increasing of pv values. According to the calculation conditions, the temperature field rose about 1°C, and the thermal deflection increased 0.002mm with pv value increased by 10%.

In order to make normal rock avalanche but not have significant impact on other parts of surrounding rock and produce evident deformation in the process of blasting heading, the basic mechanical property of rocks in Xishimen Iron Mine was taken as example to analyze. The process of coupling charge blasting in the surrounding holes of smooth blasting was simulated by applying the finite element numerical simulation software ANSYS/ LS-DYNA. The result shows that the surrounding rock has smallest stress and spall normally when borehole spacing of surrounding holes is 0.6m, thus boosting the efficiency of smooth blasting.
