Characteristic time of thermal and diffusional relaxation
Journal Title: Геофизический журнал - Year 2015, Vol 37, Issue 6
Abstract
It is shown that frequently used dimensional estimation of a layer thermal relaxation time, tr, as L2/κ based on the layer thickness, L, and thermal diffusivity, κ, strongly overestimates tr. The correct estimate tr=L2/π2κ should contain a factor of 1/π2 which is of the order of 0.1.

Application of neural networks modeling for interpretation of acoustic logging traces
The neural networks are proposed for application as a method for automatic P- and S-waves onset time-picking on sonic logging. The neural network models of acoustic emission preceding phase onset are trained and used to...
