Microhole drilling technology utilizing a golden section search algorithm

Jun 23, 2021
812.35 MB
Publicly accessible
A fundamental issue in microhole drilling is that delivering high weight-on-bit (WOB), high torque rotational horsepower to a conventional drill bit does not scale down to the hole sizes necessary to realize the envisioned cost savings An optimization algorithm called a golden sec...
