These studs in turn are embedded in a steel body that is made up to the bottom of the drill string. Drag bits have no moving parts. Their cutting mechanism is a scrapping or “machining” action that is best used to drill rock formations that fail structurally in a plastic mode (e.g....
fluid means adapted to drive the upwardly powered 0g piston in an upward direction and also to drive the downwardly powered piston in a downward direction, electrical actuating means adapted to control the action of the pistons substantially simultaneously, electrical releasing means adapted to relieve...
bearing support structures. For example, structures referred to as “stringers” and “longerons” are used to stiffen skin panels and transmit aerodynamic forces acting upon the skin panels to load-bearing structures such as spars and/or ribs. These stiffeners may take various forms. As examples...
In fact, a more detailed analysis (e.g., including the effect of surface tension, etc.) including observations of the inlet region was carried out by Birkhoff and Hays [73] who showed that the film ratio at the onset of starvation is actually ℎ𝑖/ℎ𝑐 =11.298 for the cylindrical...
