Side milling capability of rock cutting tools
Currently, the deviating hole drilling occupies a leading role in Russia. Directional drilling is used when the wells for oil and gas in Western Siberia, in the north of the European part, in the North Caucasus, in Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Samara region and other areas are drilled, as our regions have a vast number of factors interfering with conventional drilling.
Tribotechnical Properties Lead Bronzes
In operation legitimacies structure shaping lead antifrictional bronzes gained are studied at various requirements of crystallisation by a modification of velocity of refrigeration of casting moulds. Influence of a microstructure of studied materials on them tribotechnical properties is explored. It is displayed that lowering of velocity of refrigeration lead bronzes leads to friction coefficient lowering. For multicomponent lead-tin bronzes, lowering of velocity of refrigeration lead bronzes leads to magnification of value of a friction coefficient and growth of mechanical properties.
Archaeological Survey of Dangoyama Kofun by 3DGPR
We presented a three-dimensional ground penetrating radar (3DGPR) system for the archeological investigation in a harsh site, where we have to deal with many trees and/or great topographic variations. This system consists of a commercial GPR system with a laser positioning system. With this system, we can move the GPR antenna freely, on which a positioning detector can record accurate position for each GPR data trace. We applied our 3DGPR system at Dangoyama Kofun, a burial mound, in Fukushima prefecture, Japan. A lot of trees and bushes covered the survey area and cannot be cut. We acquired six datasets in two days in this area. We successfully imaged the boundary between the original surface of the burial mound and the covering soil clearly at about 0.3 m depth around the mound. Furthermore, we found some strong reflections appeared at 0.8 m depth in the top area of the mound, which can be from the artificial parts of the burial mound. The results would greatly aid the following archaeological excavation. In addition, we compared the non-interpolated depth slice with interpolated depth slice at same position and demonstrated that the interpolation process on threedimensional GPR data may introduce some artifacts which might mislead our interpretation.
