In many mining engineering applications such as prospecting, development, production and grouting, diamond bit drilling is widely used due to high penetration rate, core recovery and its ability to drill with less deviation. It has been well known that the operational parameters of diamond bit drilling are closely related with rock mass strength properties. One of the most widely discussed subjects in drilling is the possibility of using diamond drill bit operational parameters for preliminary estimation of rock mass strength and deformability properties used in many mining engineering design projects. Once such rock properties are estimated, it will be possible to make tactical planning decisions as mining progresses. In this study two different techniques, multiple regression and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were used to develop the models for preliminary estimation of rock mass strength. The variables used in the models are widely known and recorded operational parameters of diamond bit drilling such as bit load, bit rotation and penetration rate. To develop the models, a database covering the rock properties and the machine operational parameters collected from seven different drill holes in Turkey was constructed. Results indicate that both regression and ANFIS-based models can successfully be used to predict the rock mass strength. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference model exhibits better performance according to statistical performance indicators. By means of the developed models it is possible to estimate the strength of rock mass during drilling operation, especially in weak and highly fractured rock masses. The estimated strength parameters can be related to further mining engineering applications such as the assessment of excavatability, blast design and even mine design studies.

Penetration rate prediction for diamond bit drilling by adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and multiple regressions BASARIR, HAKAN; Tutluoğlu, Levend; Karpuz, Celal (Elsevier BV, 2014-05-01) In many mining, civil, and petroleum engineering applications diamond bit drilling is widely used due to high penetration rate, core recovery and its ability to drill with less deviation. Recently, many research have been conducted to estimate the penetration rate of diamond drilling which can be considered as one of the most important parameters in project planning and cost estimation of the operation.
DEVELOPMENT OF RELIABILITY-BASED MAINTENANCE POLICIES FOR HAUL TRUCKS IN A SURFACE MINE Sarıgül, Mert; Gölbaşı, Onur; Department of Mining Engineering (2022-9-2) The growing production market and the resultant increase in raw material requirements create pressure on mining companies to achieve production at a higher rate by keeping unit operating costs manageable. It is recognized that the performance of mining machinery, maintenance downtime profiles, and operating cost variations are the main parameters effective in the sustainability of machinery fleets. On this basis, developing robust and up-to-date maintenance policies regarding operation dynamics and fleet ma...
Comprehensive approach to torque and lost circulation problems in geothermal wells in terms of drilling fluid Sönmez, Ahmet; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2020-7) Drilling in a lost circulation zone has long been a challenge in geothermal wells due to its strong potential for high torque and wellbore instability. Excessive torque and friction values cause overpull, pipe stuck and severe problems ending up with losing the well in some cases. High temperature-high pressure (HTHP) drilling fluids design; which minimize loss rates and friction values, is critical for the success of these challenging drilling practices. Known fact is that, oil/synthetic based drilling flu...
Comprehensive approach to torque and lost circulation problems in geothermal wells in terms of drilling fluid Sönmez, Ahmet; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bal, Berk; Bagatır, Gökhan; Gücüyener, I.Hakkı (2021-09-01) Drilling in a lost circulation zone has long been a challenge in geothermal wells due to its strong potential for high torque and wellbore instability. Particularly in deviated, extended reach and horizontal wells, frictional forces between drill string and wellbore or casing may be high enough to interfere with running the pipe in and out of the hole. These forces may also increase the torque and the stress on drill string which may end up with severe problems like stuck pipe and lost in hole. High-tempera...
Review of Trend Tests for Detection of Wear Out Period for Mining Machineries Gölbaşı, Onur; Demirel, Nuray (2015-04-17) Machinery systems are extensively utilized in all mining stages from beginning to end of ore production. They are capital-intensive systems and substantial amount of money is spent annually to keep their functionalities in desired levels. Therefore, implementation of effective maintenance strategy has a vital importance to prevent unexpected breakdowns due to failures and to minimize operational cost. These maintenance strategies can be constituted effectively regarding functional and structural dependencie...
