Nonlinear Tube Waves

Thursday, March 10, 1994 2:00 p.m. David Johnson Schlumberger- Doll Research Ridgefield, Connecticut We consider the nonlinear characteristics of an acoustic tube wave propagating along the axis of a fluid-filled circular borehole in an elastic solid which is locally isotropic but whose properties may vary radially. The analysis is carried out in the quasi-static (i.e.,…
