Automatic and high-precision microseismic monitoring of progressive failure prior, during, and after tunnel excavation

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Seyyedmaalek Momeni, Christophe Nussbaum

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is commonly used to inspect the health of a structure continuously. During fracture processes elastic waves of AE are created and emitted, and sensors can capture these waves. The acquired signals can be processed to track ...

Fiber Bragg grating-based thermometer for drill bit temperature monitoring

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

The temperature measurement of a drill bit during an implantology drilling process is proposed by using a fiber Bragg grating fitted inside the drill bit. Due to the rotational nature of the drilling process, a free-space fiber-optic rotary joint is used f ...

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Robustness to formation geological heterogeneities of the limited entry technique for multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells is investigated. It is necessary to simulate the complete process of initiation and propagation of multiple hydraulic fractures ...

Toward a better understanding of glass gravity-feed micro-hole drilling with electrochemical discharges

Rolf Wüthrich

Spark-assisted chemical engraving (SACE) is a flexible, simple and inexpensive method for machining electrically non-conductive materials. SACE is particularly interesting because of the high drilling speed that can be achieved compared to other micromachi ...

A systematic characterization method for gravity-feed micro-hole drilling in glass with spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE)

Hannes Bleuler, Rolf Wüthrich, Yu Wu, Ulrich Spälter

Gravity-feed drilling is the most commonly used method for micro-hole drilling in glass with spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE). This paper proposes a method allowing the systematic characterization of this drilling method. The influences of voltage, ...

Similarity solution of axisymmetric flow in porous media

David Andrew Barry, Marc Parlange

Applications of the axisymmetric Boussinesq equation to groundwater hydrology and reservoir engineering have long been recognised. An archetypal example is invasion by drilling fluid into a permeable bed where there is initially no such fluid present, a ci ...
