A mechanism that couples longitudinal and torsional drillstring vibrations at the bit was studied. Torsional vibrations are associated with dynamic variations of the rotational bit speed. When a roller bit runs over a multilobed pattern, these speed variations have been shown to affect the input of longitudinal vibrations. The theory for this coupling mechanisms is verified experimentally by high-rate data of near-bit accelerations and torque recorded in a 1000-m (3,280-ft) -deep well.
