Abstract

A method includes generating a torsional wave that propagates in a drill string having a drill bit coupled at a first end of the drill string and a top drive coupled at a second end of the drill string, and determining first and second components of the torsional wave. The first component propagates from the drill bit to the top drive and the second component propagates from the top drive to the drill bit. The method further includes calculating a first control signal to mitigate the first component, calculating a second control signal to regulate the second component, and generating a torque command based on the first and second control signals to control the top drive to dampen the torsional wave.
