We have developed a model-based processing technique for borehole dipole S-wave logging data to estimate formation shear slowness from the data. During dipole acoustic logging, the presence of the logging tool can significantly affect the dispersion characteristics of flexural waves. Therefore, modeling the effects of the tool is essential for model-based processing. We have determined that an equivalent-tool theory using only two parameters, tool radius, and modulus, can adequately model the flexural-wave-dispersion characteristics. We used this theory, together with a calibration procedure, to determine the tool parameters to formulate an inversion method for the logging data processing. Our use of the equivalent tool theory played an important role in fitting the theoretical dispersion curve to the actual flexural-wave-dispersion data, enabling fast processing of the field acoustic data. An advantage of this model-based method is its prediction power, which, in the absence of low-frequency dispersion data, allows for predicting formation shear slowness from the low-frequency limit of the model-fitted dispersion curve. We have also developed an application procedure of the method for field-data processing and demonstrated its effectiveness in the dispersion correction using field acoustic data from fast and slow formations.

We have developed a novel constrained inversion method for estimating a radial shear-wave velocity profile away from the wellbore using dipole acoustic logging data and have analyzed the effect of the radial velocity changes on dipole-flexural-wave dispersion characteristics. The inversion of the dispersion data to estimate the radial changes is inherently a nonunique problem because changing the degree of variation or the radial size of the variation zone can produce similar wave-dispersion characteristics. Nonuniqueness can be solved by developing a constrained inversion method. This is done by constraining the high-frequency portion of the model dispersion curve with another curve calculated using the near-borehole velocity. The constraint condition is based on the physical principle that a high-frequency dipole wave has a shallow penetration depth and is therefore sensitive to the near-borehole shear-wave velocity. We have validated the result of the constrained inversion with synthetic data testing. Combining the new inversion method with four-component crossed-dipole anisotropy processing obtains shear radial profiles in fast and slow shear polarization directions. In a sandstone formation, the fast and slow shear-wave profiles show substantial differences caused by the near-borehole stress field, demonstrating the ability of the technique to obtain radial and azimuthal geomechanical property changes near the wellbore.

AbstractThe present paper aims at studying the nonlinear ultrasonic waves in a magneto-thermo-elastic armchair single-walled (SW) carbon nanotube (CNT) with mass sensors resting on a polymer substrate. The analytical formulation accounts for small scale effects based on the Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. The mathematical model and its differential equations are solved theoretically in terms of dimensionless frequencies while assuming a nonlinear Winkler-Pasternak-type foundation. The solution is obtained by means of ultrasonic wave dispersion relations. A parametric work is carried out to check for the effect of the nonlocal scaling parameter, together with the magneto-mechanical loadings, the foundation parameters, the attached mass, boundary conditions and geometries, on the dimensionless frequency of nanotubes. The sensitivity of the mechanical response of nanotubes investigated herein, could be of great interest for design purposes in nano-engineering systems and devices.
