Application Of Rayleigh's Principle To Guided Waves In A Borehole

The Lagrangian for guided waves in a completely general borehole model is presented. Rayleigh's principle is used to derive the first order perturbations in wavenumber and frequency due to slight perturbations in the physical properties of the model. The principle is also used to calculate p...
