More Information
Summary:Methods and associated tools and components related to generating and obtaining performance data during drilling operations of a subterranean formation is disclosed. Performance data may include thermal and mechanical information related to earth-boring drilling tool during a drilling operation are disclosed. For example, a cutter of an earth-boring drilling tool may include a substrate with a cutting surface thereon. The cutter may further include at least one diamond sensor coupled with the cutting surface, and a conductive pathway operably coupled with the at least one diamond sensor. The at least one diamond sensor may be configured to generate a piezoelectric signal in response to an applied stimulus. L'invention porte sur des procédés et sur des outils et des composants associés qui sont relatifs à la génération et à l'obtention de données de fonctionnement pendant des opérations de forage d'une formation souterraine. Les données de fonctionnement peuvent comprendre des informations thermiques et mécaniques relatives à un outil de forage pendant une opération de forage. Par exemple, une fraise d'un outil de forage du sol peut comprendre un substrat ayant une surface de coupe sur lui. La fraise peut comprendre en outre au moins un capteur en diamant couplé à la surface de coupe, et un chemin conducteur couplé de manière fonctionnelle au ou aux capteurs en diamant. Le ou les capteurs en diamant peuvent être configurés pour générer un signal piézoélectrique en réponse à un stimulus appliqué.
