This study suggests a method for quantitatively estimating the drilling performance of the down-the-hole (DTH) hammer during percussive drilling of rock surfaces. A pneumatic dynamic model of the DTH hammer was developed that considers the mass flow rate relations representing the orifice opening areas of the air tube, the piston, and bit flushing channels. A drill bit motion model was developed to represent the dynamics of a drill bit impacted by a dropped piston and explain the impact stress propagation and rock-crushing mechanism. The rock-crushing effect of the drill button bit was measured through a piston drop test. The pneumatic hammer model and drill bit motion model were then combined in a prediction model to determine the impact efficiency according to different rock types (i.e., soft, medium-hard, and very hard). The drilling efficiency was defined as the input value of the prediction model, which was used to simulate the drilling performance of DTH hammers considering the rock type and dynamic effect of the drill bit. Finally, the simulation results were compared with the results of in situ drilling tests for verification.

“…The interaction between the drill bit and the worked material has also been modeled with lumped parameters modeling three-dimensional finite element methods [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. The available studies provide useful information about the resistance during the impact and the efficiency of the energy transfer [ 15 , 16 ], but do not consider the drill bit rotation and the matching between axial and torsional vibrations, i.e., the chatter vibration phenomenon [ 17 ].…”

This work describes the results of a test campaign aimed to measure the propagation of longitudinal, torsional, and flexural stress waves on a drill bit during percussive rock drilling. Although the stress wave propagation during percussive drilling has been extensively modeled and studied in the literature, its experimental characterization is poorly documented and generally limited to the detection of the longitudinal stress waves. The activity was performed under continuous drilling while varying three parameters, the type of concrete, the operator feeding force, and the drilling hammer rotational speed. It was found that axial stress wave frequencies and spectral amplitudes depend on the investigated parameters. Moreover, a relevant coupling between axial and torsional vibrations was evidenced, while negligible contribution was found from the bending modes. A finite element model of the drill bit and percussive element was developed to simulate the impact and the coupling between axial and torsional vibrations. A strong correlation was found between computed and measured axial stress spectra, but additional studies are required to achieve a satisfactory agreement between the measured and the simulated torque vibrations.

Considering the insufficiency of numerical study on the percussion characteristic of hydraulic rock drill, which restricts the improvement of efficiency and reliability, a coupling model including the impact piston, spool valve, impact accumulator, and connecting pipelines was established taking into account the oil compressibility, oil leakage, and pressure drop in valve ports. The rebound velocity of impact piston was calculated based on the stress wave theory. The simulation results revealed the coupling mechanism of percussion system. Pressure curves of the piston's front-chamber and rearchamber, and valve's left-chamber and right-chamber were obtained by field rock drilling test. Then, the velocity curve of impact piston was obtained after judging the striking point through the feature of rear-chamber's pressure spike, so were the rock drill's impact energy, impact frequency, and impact power. The simulation and experimental results have consistency. And, on this basis, the influence of spool valve's damping clearance (d) and pipeline diameters (d 1 , d 2) connecting the impact piston and spool valve on the percussion performance and system cavitation was researched. The results show that the larger d is better considering reversal time of spool valve, the impact frequency of rock drill, pressure fluctuation, and cavitation relief. But too large d will cause over quick impact velocity of the spool valve, which may lead to strong vibration and the damage of spool valve. The optimal value of d is 0.01 mm by comprehensive consideration. The pipeline diameters have an important influence on the pressure fluctuation and negative pressure in rear-chamber. The diameters should be larger than 18 mm to alleviate the cavitation. This article provides means for the design and research of rock drills.
