    摘要: A method for selecting drilling parameters for drilling a borehole penetrating the earth with a drill string. The method includes: measuring vibration-related amplitudes of the drill string during operation using one or more vibrations sensor to provide amplitude measurements; determining with a downhole processor one or more modal properties comprising one or more eigenfrequencies of the drill string using the amplitude measurements, the determination being made by including any excitation force in a white noise term of a model of the drillstring; and selecting drilling parameters that apply an excitation force at a frequency that avoids a selected range of frequencies that bound the one or more eigenfrequencies using the processor.

    摘要: A method for estimating drilling parameters for drilling a borehole in the earth includes: drilling the borehole with a drill string having a mud motor and a drill bit; constructing a mathematical model of a system including the drill string, the mud motor, and a borehole geometry; calculating a mud motor lateral excitation force imposed on the drill string by the mud motor for one or more combinations of drill string rotational speed and mud motor rotational speed; calculating lateral motion of the drill string and a force imposed on the drill string at positions along the drill string for the one or more of combinations using the model and the excitation force; selecting a range of combinations of drill string rotational speed and mud motor rotational speed that result in the force imposed upon the drill string being less than a threshold value; and displaying the range of combinations.

    摘要: A method for estimating a steady state response of a drill string in a borehole includes calculating a first displacement of the drill string in a frequency domain for a first excitation force frequency and a number of multiples of this frequency using an equation of motion of the drill string. The equation of motion has a static force component, an excitation force component, and a non-linear force component with respect to at least one of a deflection and a derivative of the deflection of the drill string. The method further includes: transforming the first displacement from the frequency domain into a time domain; calculating a non-linear force in the time domain; calculating a frequency domain coefficient derived from the calculated non-linear force in the time domain; and calculating a second displacement of the drill string in the frequency domain using the equation of motion and the frequency domain coefficient.
