Penetration, as distinct from simple impact, ricochet or complete perforation, of a target by a projectile...

... can be both of chemical and mechanical nature. Possible causes are fracturing of the formation, borehole collapse and creep or swelling in the borehole wall. Borehole instability take place even with inhibitive oil-based mud systems, so part of the problem is clearly of a mechanical nature...

... Introduction This Symposium General Report attempts to highlight important developments in Rock Mechanics for applications to engineering problems at great depth. Much of the report was presented orally in session # 9, but in an abbreviated form. The many excellent written and oral...

The suitability of mechanical excavation for preliminary surveys under such conditions must also be established. The subject...
