Non Destructive

Interdigitated surface and guided-wave transducers have only recently received attention as possible tools for non-destructive testing. This may be due in part to the increasing attention being paid to piezoelectric polymers as practical transduction materials for structural sensing and actuation. However, much remains to be done to produce a rugged, monolithic device oriented toward these sorts of applications, to characterize and optimize its passive and active response, to develop excitation strategies and signal processing algorithms that in tandem can be employed for arrayed structure monitoring applications. In this paper we confine ourselves to the first two topics and report on the development and proof-of-principle testing of a monolithic interdigitated polyvinyldine fluoride (PVDF) transducer. Specifically, we report on the design and response of an interdigitated transducer with relatively large finger spacings. The finger spacing yield measureable responses in the asymptotically slow single-mode region of Lamb wave dispersion behavior for frequency-thickness products which may be useful for nondestructive testing of many mechanical and civil structural systems.

Mode Separation

Due to the multimodal and dispersive characteristics of guided waves, guided wave testing signals are always overlapped and difficult to separate for correct interpretations. To this end, a simplified dispersion compensation algorithm is put forward in this paper. The dispersion elimination is accomplished by compensating the second-order nonlinear phase shift of guided wave signals, which is the cause of the dispersion when narrow band exciting signals are used. This algorithm is easy to implement and has no need of prior knowledge of the guided wave dispersion relationship. Considering that the center frequency, which is a key parameter for this algorithm, is nearly impossible to determine accurately in practical applications, the effect of the center frequency deviation on the algorithm is further studied. Both theoretical analysis and numerical simulation indicate the insensitivity of the algorithm to the deviation of the center frequency, and hence, there is no need to determine the center frequency accurately, facilitating the practical use of the algorithm. Based on this simplified dispersion compensation algorithm and in cooperation with the matching pursuit method, the mode separation is further performed for interpreting of overlapped guided wave signals. Dispersion compensation is first applied to the testing signal with respect to a certain mode which will compress the waveform of the mode while the others still spread. Then, this compressed waveform is separated with the Gabor based matching pursuit method. Both simulation and experiment are designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Shale Reservoir

Shale formation properties are crucial for the hydrocarbon production performance of unconventional reservoirs. Microseismic-induced guided waves, which propagate within the low-velocity shale formation, are an ideal candidate for accurate estimation of the shale thickness, velocity, and anisotropy. A DAS fiber deployed along the horizontal section of a monitor well can provide a high-resolution recording of guided waves excited by microseismic events during hydraulic fracturing operations. These guided waves manifest a highly dispersive behavior that allows for seismic inversion of the shale formation properties. An adaptation of the propagator matrix method is presented to estimate guided wave dispersion curves and its accuracy is validated by comparison to 3-D elastic wavefield simulations. The propagator matrix formulation holds for cases of vertical transverse isotropy (VTI) as well. A sensitivity analysis of the theoretical dispersion relations of the guided waves shows that they are mostly influenced by the thickness and S-wave velocity of the low-velocity shale reservoir. The VTI parameters of the formation are also shown to have an impact on the dispersion relations. These physical insights provide the foundation for a dispersion-based model inversion for a 1-D depth-dependent structure of the reservoir and its surroundings. The inversion procedure is validated in a synthetic case and applied to the field records collected in an Eagle Ford hydraulic fracturing project. The inverted structure agrees well with a sonic log acquired several hundred meters away from the monitor well. Seismic inversion using guided wave dispersion therefore shows promise to become a novel and cost-effective strategy for in-situ estimation of reservoir structure and properties, which complements microseismic-based interpretation and production-related information.
