Estimation Of Nonorthogonal Shear Wave Polarizations And Shear Wave Velocities From Four-Component Dipole Logs

Polarizations of split shear waves and flexural borehole waves are most commonly estimated from four-component data using the rotation technique of Alford (1986). This method is limited to the case of the two polarizations being orthogonal to each other. We present a method that is able to handle...
