The stick-slip vibration phenomenon of drill string widely exists in the drilling process, which has a great negative impact on drilling equipment, efficiency, cost and safety. In order to effectively suppress the stick-slip vibration of the drill string system, a two-degree-of-freedom torsional vibration model of the drill string system is established considering the nonlinear friction between the drill bit and rock. Based on this model, an optimal LQR controller is designed to suppress the stick-slip vibration of drill string, and the driving torque is fed back in real time through the state error. The effectiveness of the controller under parameter perturbation is verified by simulation analysis. The results show that the controller can effectively suppress the stick-slip vibration of drill string system under the desired speed, feedforward torque, start time and bit weight parameter perturbation, achieve real-time feedback of driving torque, and ensure that the angular velocity of rotary table and BHA can be tracked and maintained at the desired speed in a short time. The control effect shows good steady-state error and dynamic performance. The research results have a certain reference significance for suppressing stick-slip vibration of drill string system and improving drilling efficiency.
