    Drilling-Equipment, Methods and Materials - Rock-Bit Tooth Friction Analysis

    By J. B. Cheatham

    The influence of friction on the force required for an idealized bit tooth to penetrate a "plastic" rock is analyzed. The rock is assumed to obey the Coulomb-Mobr yield criterion and the tooth is repr
