Flexural dispersion curves of acoustoelastic borehole waves by the perturbation method in a triaxially stressed transversely isotropic formation with vertical symmetry

Abstract Cross-dipole acoustic logging is widely used to determine the maximum horizontal stress azimuth and stress imbalance in vertical boreholes within isotropic formations. However, theoretical analysis of dipole flexural dispersion under imbalanced stresses in transversely i...
