Influence of the Transducer-Mounting Method on the Radiation Performance of Acoustic Sources Used in Monopole Acoustic Logging While Drilling
Transducers used in acoustic logging while drilling (ALWD) must be mounted on a drill collar, and their radiation performance is dependent on the employed mounting method.Herein, the complex transmitting voltage response of a while-drilling (WD) monopole acoustic source Leveling Arm was calculated through finite-element harmonic-response analysis.S
