Numerical Simulation and Optimization of Drill Pipe - Martian Soil Model

Modeling of drill pipe and optimization of its parameters are important in the design of drilling-sampling mechanism. The present study focused on the influence of drilling parameters on the excitement depth of Martian soil. A mathematical prediction model of the excitement depth of Martian soil was developed using response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of drill pipe parameters on the excitement depth of Martian soil were evaluated and optimum drill pipe parameters were determined using RSM. As a result, the predicted values and test values were quite close, which indicates that the developed model can be effectively used to predict the excitement depth of Martian soil. The given model could be utilized to select the level of drill pipe parameters. The efficiency of the sampling device will be improved by using this model.
