Abstract High Frequency Torsional Oscillations (HFTO) generate high torsional loads in the BHA causing cracks, damaged electronics or twist-offs. A new Torsional Vibration Isolator tool (TVI) protects the BHA by restricting vibrations to the tools between bit and TVI. Additional features have been added to the tool to automatically indicate torque overloading of the BHA and to increase torque resistance if required. This paper proves the functionality of the new features analytically, on a small-scale laboratory test and in multiple field deployments in the North Sea. New guidelines for field operations are provided. The new feature is a torsion limiter which automatically engages on reaching a critical torque threshold. The torque is then re-routed through more torque resistant BHA components. The engagement generates a characteristic signal indicating bit or BHA-overloading. The mechanical design of the new feature is presented. A criterion for engagement of the limiter and the signature indicating critical torque are analytically derived. They are experimentally validated on a scaled version of the TVI in a laboratory test. A prototype of the new tool is manufactured and deployed in multiple field operations in the North Sea previously heavily affected by HFTO. Two high-frequency measuring devices identify critical drilling situations on a scale of Milliseconds. A new guideline for utilization of this tool is developed including recommendations for BHA set-up and operational parameters. The TVI works as intended and protects the upper BHA from torsional loads generated by HFTO. The new feature engages at the predicted contact parameters. The signature indicating critical torque for the BHA was recorded and corresponds to the signature measured in the lab and predicted by the model. The TVI is best placed as close to the bit as possible, and a high-frequency measuring device in the BHA is recommended to record and transmit the contact indicators to surface. Based on field tests a parameter map for drilling torque and RPM is created that displays zones of safe operational parameters in a plain manner for field engineers. The map was validated in the field, and harmful drilling states were prevented by following the recommended drilling parameters. The next generation TVI protects BHAs from damage due to torsional vibrations. The new feature enables operations in stuck-pipe situations by increasing the torque when required. The overloading indicator prevents overstepping the torque limit of the bit and the BHA. The new parameter map and best-practice recommendations transport the learnings to the field in an easy-to-use manner.

Vehicle drivelines with manual transmissions are exposed to different dynamic engine torques under driving conditions. Engine torque can dramatically vary with throttle demand from coast to drive condition and, conversely, with throttle release from drive to coast. Abrupt application or release of throttle in slow moving traffic or rapid engagement of the clutch can be followed by an audible response, referred to in industry as the clonk noise. This paper presents a complete dynamic model of a vehicle driveline for the optimization of high-frequency torsional vibration by the distributed-lumped (hybrid) modelling technique (DLMT). The model used is first validated against experimental tests. Parameter sensitivity studies have been carried out using the model to identify the important components affecting clonk. Three key parameters have been chosen from the parameter study. To optimize these key factors, genetic algorithms (GAs) have been used in this multi-parameter optimization problem. The GAs show significant reduction in the driveline noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

AbstractThis paper deals with the stress analysis of crankshaft of a 4- cylinder internal combustion engine. The crankshaft is during its operation subjected to static and dynamic load. High frequency dynamic cyclic loading can lead to material fatigue and eventually fracture. To reduce this dynamic loading a new type of torsional vibration damper built in the crankshaft counterweight will be analyzed with the use of numerical simulation. After defining boundary conditions and applying loads, Von Mises stress analysis will be performed using the finite element method.

IntroductionTraditional steatite ceramics, made by firing (vitrifying) hydrous magnesium silicate, have long been used as insulators for high frequency applications due to their excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Early x-ray and optical analysis of steatites showed that they were composed largely of protoenstatite (MgSiO3) in a glassy matrix. Recent studies of enstatite-containing glass ceramics have revived interest in the polymorphism of enstatite. Three polymorphs exist, two with orthorhombic and one with monoclinic symmetry (ortho, proto and clino enstatite, respectively). Steatite ceramics are of particular interest a they contain the normally unstable high-temperature polymorph, protoenstatite.Experimental3mm diameter discs cut from steatite rods (∼10” long and 0.5” dia.) were ground, polished, dimpled, and ion-thinned to electron transparency using 6KV Argon ions at a beam current of 1 x 10-3 A and a 12° angle of incidence. The discs were coated with carbon prior to TEM examination to minimize charging effects.

It is well known that the structure information on the specimen is not always faithfully transferred through the electron microscope. Firstly, the spatial frequency spectrum is modulated by the transfer function (TF) at the focal plane. Secondly, the spectrum suffers high frequency cut-off by the aperture (or effectively damping terms such as chromatic aberration). While these do not have essential effect on imaging crystal periodicity as long as the low order Bragg spots are inside the aperture, although the contrast may be reversed, they may change the appearance of images of amorphous materials completely. Because the spectrum of amorphous materials is continuous, modulation of it emphasizes some components while weakening others. Especially the cut-off of high frequency components, which contribute to amorphous image just as strongly as low frequency components can have a fundamental effect. This can be illustrated through computer simulation. Imaging of a whitenoise object with an electron microscope without TF limitation gives Fig. 1a, which is obtained by Fourier transformation of a constant amplitude combined with random phases generated by computer.

Fully automated or semi-automated scanning electron microscopes (SEM) are now commonly used in semiconductor production and other forms of manufacturing. The industry requires that an automated instrument must be routinely capable of 5 nm resolution (or better) at 1.0 kV accelerating voltage for the measurement of nominal 0.25-0.35 micrometer semiconductor critical dimensions. Testing and proving that the instrument is performing at this level on a day-by-day basis is an industry need and concern which has been the object of a study at NIST and the fundamentals and results are discussed in this paper.In scanning electron microscopy, two of the most important instrument parameters are the size and shape of the primary electron beam and any image taken in a scanning electron microscope is the result of the sample and electron probe interaction. The low frequency changes in the video signal, collected from the sample, contains information about the larger features and the high frequency changes carry information of finer details. The sharper the image, the larger the number of high frequency components making up that image. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis of an SEM image can be employed to provide qualitiative and ultimately quantitative information regarding the SEM image quality.
