A stick-slip vibration suppression method for the drillstring system based on neutral type model

A controller is proposed based on the equivalent input disturbance (EID) method to suppress the stick-slip vibration of the drilling process. The drillstring system is described by a neutral type model with unknown disturbances, where the unknown disturbances are mainly nonlinear bit-rock reaction. The core idea of this approach is to use EID to suppress a variety of external disturbances and the impact caused by the state delay of the neutral type model. The main advantage of our method is that the controller does not depend on the specific disturbance model, which is of great significance for the suppression control of stick-slip vibration in complex stratigraphic environment. Moreover, our method is applicable to more general neutral type systems. The simulation was carried out to eliminate stick-slip vibration quickly and verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
