13 results about "Transverse isotropy" patented technology

A transversely isotropic material is one with physical properties that are symmetric about an axis that is normal to a plane of isotropy. This transverse plane has infinite planes of symmetry and thus, within this plane, the material properties are the same in all directions. Hence, such materials are also known as "polar anisotropic" materials.

Using ultrasound anisotropic model for organ analysis

A method is described for generating high-resolution images of transversely isotropic mechanical properties and attenuation properties of tissues associated with measured compressional waves. A pressure wave is transmitted to a region containing fibers that are oriented with transverse isotropy. Waves are received that propagate after the pressure wave has impinged upon the fibers. An initial velocity and attenuation model is created that takes into account the transverse isotropy of the fibers. Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is used to iteratively minimize a difference between the received data and the initial velocity and attenuation model to create an image of the region that takes into account the transverse isotropy of the fibers. The image has a higher resolution than if created using the initial velocity and attenuation model.

Transverse isotropic medium reflection coefficient precision-based seismic four-parameter linear direct inversion method

The invention discloses a seismic four-parameter linear direct inversion method based on a transverse isotropic medium reflection coefficient precision formula, and belongs to the technical field of unconventional reservoir seismic exploration. According to the method, an accurate Graebner reflection coefficient equation is deduced again, four pseudo-stiffness coefficients are introduced to re-characterize the reflection coefficient, and the number of to-be-inverted parameters is reduced from 5 to 4, so that the discomfort of an inverse problem is reduced. In order to improve the calculation efficiency of inversion, the partial derivative of the positive operator after the density item is eliminated is deduced to realize linear inversion of four parameters. In order to improve the precision of anisotropy parameter estimation, an indirect inversion strategy is adopted, four pseudo-stiffness coefficients are obtained through inversion, and then the anisotropy parameters epsilon and delta are estimated through inversion results. The feasibility of the inversion method is verified through a synthetic data test.

Method and system for determining in-situ stresses in anisotropic rocks

PendingUS20250327788A1Earth material testingBorehole/well accessoriesTransverse isotropyGeophysics
Methods and systems for determining in-situ stresses in anisotropic rocks are presented. The methods consider both anisotropic rock properties, geothermal and tectonic effects. They calculates in-situ stresses for subsurface rocks with anisotropies and non-isothermal effects, so that they can be applied to geothermal energy and geo-energy. Horizontal stresses in the vertical transverse isotropy (VTI) rock and in the horizontal transverse isotropy (HTI) rock are obtained for calculating in-situ stresses in naturally fractured rocks. Compared with the conventional isotropic model, the method applicable to VTI rocks predicts a higher minimum horizontal stress and a higher maximum horizontal stress, which is suitable for shales and other laminated formations. The method applicable to HTI rocks gives a lower minimum horizontal stress than the conventional model. Geothermal temperature effects are also integrated into the methods so that the methods are applied to geothermal energy.
