  • Circular Downhole Ultrasonic Phased Array
    Publication number: 20230333275
    Abstract: A downhole tool having an acoustic transducer for downhole measurements. A backing is in contact with an inner surface of the transducer. A first structure is coupled to a first housing. A second structure is coupled to a second housing. A member includes first, second, and third portions. The first portion is coupled to the first structure. The second portion is coupled to the second structure. At least one of the first and second structures is coupled to the member and has a degree of freedom relative to the member. The third portion extends longitudinally through the backing between the first and second portions such that compressional forces on the first and second housings are transferred through the first and second structures and the backing. A canister contacts an outer surface of the transducer and exerts radial forces on the transducer when exposed to pressures higher than atmospheric pressure.
