Estimation of anisotropy parameters using the P-wave velocities on a cylindrical shale sample

In this paper we present a new approach to the estimation of the Thomsen anisotropy parameters and symmetry axis coordinates from the P-wave traveltime measurements on cylindrical shale samples. Using the tomography-style array of transducers, we measure the ultrasonic P-wave ray velocities to estim...
