드릴비트는 암반에 직접적으로 타격력과 회전력을 전달함으로써 연속적으로 암반을 파쇄, 분쇄하는 천공기의 핵심 구성요소이다. 일정한 속도로 회전하는 동시에 회전축 방향으로 타격하며 암반을 파쇄하기 때문에 암반 파쇄효율을 높이기 위해서는 드릴비트의 배열 최적설계가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 버튼배열 최적화를 수행하기 위한 선행연구로써 버튼배열의 성능을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 버튼의 중복타격 면적, 비 타격 면적, 천공편향 모멘트와 같은 평가지표를 활용하여 버튼배열의 파쇄 효율성을 평가하였으며, 더불어 제안된 평가방법을 활용하여 기존 드릴비트 버튼배열의 파쇄 효율성을 검토함으로써 제안한 배열성능 평가방법의 적합성을 확인하였다.

Based on theories of rock mechanics, rock fragmentation, mechanics of elasto-plasticity, and energy dissipation etc., a method is presented for evaluating the rock fragmentation efficiency by using plastic energy dissipation ratio as an index. Using the presented method, the fragmentation efficiency of rocks with different strengths (corresponding to soft, intermediately hard and hard ones) under indentation is analyzed and compared. The theoretical and numerical simulation analyses are then combined with experimental results to systematically reveal the fragmentation mechanism of rocks under indentation of indenter. The results indicate that the fragmentation efficiency of rocks is higher when the plastic energy dissipation ratio is lower, and hence the drilling efficiency is higher. For the rocks with higher hardness and brittleness, the plastic energy dissipation ratio of the rocks at crush is lower. For rocks with lower hardness and brittleness (such as sandstone), most of the work done by the indenter to the rocks is transferred to the elastic and plastic energy of the rocks. However, most of such work is transferred to the elastic energy when the hardness and the brittleness of the rocks are higher. The plastic deformation is small and little energy is dissipated for brittle crush, and the elastic energy is mainly transferred to the kinetic energy of the rock fragment. The plastic energy ratio is proved to produce more accurate assessment on the fragmentation efficiency of rocks, and the presented method can provide a theoretical basis for the optimization of drill bit and selection of well drilling as well as for the selection of the rock fragmentation ways.
