Abstract
A method to drill a borehole or wellbore through an earthen formation using a drill bit on a drillstring, comprising the steps of: selecting a frequency-domain dynamic model of a drilling assembly that describes the dynamic response of the drilling assembly to excitation at an excitation frequency for operating at a set of selected drilling parameters that include at least rotary speed and weight on bit; calculating a composite vibration index by combining calculated vibration indices for each excitation frequency with the spectral weighting factors for each of the drilling parameter partitions; displaying said composite vibration index for each of the drilling parameter partitions; selecting preferred drilling parameters based on the displayed results, and using the preferred drilling parameters to drill a borehole with the modeled drilling assembly.
