Guided Waves In Slight, Azimuthally Anisotropic Formations

A method of calculating dispersion curves for guided waves in slight, azimuthally anisotropic formations is developed with perturbation theory. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid, the formation perfectly elastic and homogeneous, and the ·borehole wall cylindrical. The first step is calculating t...
