Effects of tool eccentricity on wave dispersion properties in borehole acoustic logging while drilling

In this paper, a finite element approach is applied to study the dispersion properties of non-leaky acoustic waves inside boreholes with off-centered LWD (logging while drilling) tools. Both soft and hard formation cases are studied with focus on phase velocity dispersions of Stoneley, dipole and qu...
