US Patent 11768306 Enhanced anisotropy analysis with multicomponent dipole sonic data

A method may comprise: disposing an acoustic logging tool in a wellbore, wherein the acoustic logging tool comprises a transmitter and a receiver; emitting a flexural wave from the transmitter; recording a four component dipole waveform with the receiver, wherein the four component dipole waveform comprises XX, XY, YX, and YY components; rotating the four component dipole waveform using Alford rotation to produce rotated waveform components, wherein the rotated waveform components comprise XX
