Advances in Terrestrial Drilling: Ground, Ice, and Underwater
includes the latest drilling and excavation principles and
processes for terrestrial environments. The chapters cover the
history of drilling and excavation, drill types, drilling
techniques and their advantages and associated issues, rock coring
including acquisition, damage control, caching and transport, and
data interpretation, as well as unconsolidated soil drilling and
borehole stability. This book includes a description of the basic
science of the drilling process, associated processes of breaking
and penetrating various media, the required hardware, and the
process of excavation and analysis of the sampled media. Describes
recent advances in terrestrial drilling. Discusses drilling in the
broadest range of media including terrestrial surfaces, ice and
underwater from shallow penetration to very deep. Provides an
in-depth description of key drilling techniques and the unified
approach to assessing the required tools for given drilling
requirements. Discusses environmental effects on drilling, current
challenges of drilling and excavation, and methods that are used to
address these. Examines novel drilling and excavation approaches.
Dr. Yoseph Bar-Cohen is the Supervisor of the Electroactive
Technologies Group (http://ndeaa.jpl.nasa.gov/) and a Senior
Research Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Lab/Caltech, Pasadena, CA.
His research is focused on electro-mechanics including planetary
sample handling mechanisms, novel actuators that are driven by such
materials as piezoelectric and EAP (also known as artificial
muscles), and biomimetics. Dr. Kris Zacny is a Senior Scientist and
Vice President of Exploration Systems at Honeybee Robotics,
