Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for actively controlling the damping of a wellbore logging tool are disclosed herein. A wellbore logging tool system comprises a processor, a memory, a wellbore logging tool comprising an acoustic transmitter, and a logging tool control module. The logging tool control module is operable to receive sensor signals from one or more sensors coupled to the wellbore logging tool after an actuation control signal has been transmitted to the acoustic transmitter and determine, using the received sensor signals, one or more current dynamic states of the acoustic transmitter. The logging tool control module is also operable to determine a damping control signal based on the one or more current dynamic states of the acoustic transmitter and transmit the damping control signal to the acoustic transmitter of the wellbore logging tool.
