Evaluation and selection of an optimum material for coil tubes in CT drilling technology for hard rocks in mineral exploration

The PhD study aimed at evaluating and selecting optimum material for coiled tubes in CT drilling technology for hard rocks in mineral exploration. Numerical computer modelling, using Abaqus and Hypersizer software packages, was undertaken to analyse stress distribution and investigate the effect of...
