    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic/sonic_driller/corer

    The Ultrasonic/Sonic Driller/Corer (USDC) is a drilling device that uses vibrations in order to hammer its bit through materials, as opposed to traditional drilling methods. The drill uses a piezoelectric actuator as its source of power, and utilizes a variety of 'horns' to vibrate, or hammer, its bit through the material.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_logging

    Many relationships between travel time and porosity have been proposed, the most commonly accepted is the Wyllie time-average equation. The equation basically holds that the total travel time recorded on the log is the sum of the time the sonic wave spends travelling the solid part of the rock, called the rock matrix and the time spent travelling through the fluids in the pores.

  4. Theory of sonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_sonics

    A sonic drill head works by sending high frequency resonant vibrations down the drill string to the drill bit, while the operator controls these frequencies to suit the specific conditions of the soil/rock geology. Torque Converter. [4] A mechanical application of sonic theory on the transmission of power by vibrations.

  5. Well logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_logging

    Well logging, also known as borehole logging is the practice of making a detailed record (a well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole.The log may be based either on visual inspection of samples brought to the surface (geological logs) or on physical measurements made by instruments lowered into the hole (geophysical logs).

  6. Ultrasonic welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_welding

    Ultrasonic welding of thin metallic foils. The sonotrode is rotated along the weld seam.. Ultrasonic welding is an industrial process whereby high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are locally applied to work pieces being held together under pressure to create a solid-state weld.

  7. Measurement while drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_while_drilling

    During such drilling, data is acquired from the drilling rig sensors for a range of purposes such as: decision-support to monitor and manage the smooth operation of drilling; to make detailed records (or well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole; to generate operations statistics and performance benchmarks such that ...

  8. Cocoa was the top-performing commodity of 2024. The price of the bean surged as headwinds battered key producers. Prices are likely to stay high into 2025, analysts at ING said.

  9. Density logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_logging

    The tool itself initially consisted of a radioactive source and a single detector, but this configuration is susceptible to the effects of the drilling fluid. In a similar way to how the sonic logging tool was improved to compensate for borehole effects, density logging now conventionally uses 2 or more detectors. In a 2 detector configuration ...
