Abstract

ABSTRACT We revisit an exact, quasi-static, semianalytical solution for the effective tube-wave modulus for any borehole orientation relative to an anisotropic medium of arbitrary symmetry and strength. This exact solution agrees very well with the one computed from a finite-element model (FEM). We ...
