Claim 16:
17. An apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to,
determine values for a first drill bit design parameter for a plurality of drill bit designs;
detect instances of backward whirl based on vibrational data;
determine a correlation between the instances of backward whirl and the values of the first drill bit design parameter, wherein the instructions to cause the apparatus to determine the correlation include instructions to cause the apparatus to determine a set of values for the first drill bit design parameter based on an aggregate of the values for the first drill bit design parameter identified for the instances of backward whirl;
based on the correlation, determine a set of one or more limits for the first drill bit design parameter that mitigates backward whirl; and
generate drill bit design rules based on the determined set of one or more limits for the first drill bit design parameter.
