Visualization of 3D coupled vibration in drill bits
Drill bit vibration data for lateral, axial, and torsional directions of a drill bit is collected for a simulated or deployed drill bit for visualization of 3D coupled vibration. A frequency converter transforms the drill bit vibration data into frequency vibration data. A drill bit analyzer identifies local maxima (“peaks”) in the frequency vibration data in each of the lateral, axial, and torsional directions. Common peaks across all 3 directions with sufficiently high frequency and sufficiently high bit rotation speed are indicated as 3D coupled vibration. A drill bit data visualizer uses the indications of 3D coupled vibration in addition to the vibration data and frequency vibration data to generate visualizations of 3D coupled vibration in the drill bit.
