    Abstract: A dual mode multiple-element resonant cavity piezoceramic borehole energy source is disclosed. Thus, a source for generating detectable seismic waves in a wellbore is provided which is capable of transmitting useful signals over long distances between the source and the related receiver or receivers. A liquid-filled elongated column is provided which defines a longitudinal axis and has a resonant frequency. A resonator comprising at least one substantially cylindrical piezoelectric element having an axis approximately parallel to the axis of the borehole for inducing seismic waves in the borehole is furnished. The resonator is constructed and arranged for vibrating at the first resonant frequency, and is also constructed and arranged for vibrating at a second frequency in a hoop mode to generate seismic waves having the second frequency.

    Abstract: A low impedance acoustic source suitable for used in down-hole well logging includes a mechanical transformer for impedance matching of the source to the surrounding environment. Elliptically shaped flexible beams are positioned along the long axis of an ellipse, and a pump is oriented along the long axis of the ellipse for driving the flexible beams. In a preferred embodiment the pump comprises first and second stacks of transducers which engage the flexible beams at opposing ends with the two stacks of transducers operating in a push-pull mode of operation. Rigid extension at opposing ends of the flexible beams function as levers in translating the motion of the transducers to the flexible beams. A rigid support rod is positioned along the long axis of the ellipse in engagement with the rigid extensions at fulcrum points, and an adapter associated with each stack of ceramic transducers engages and drives the rigid members about the fulcrum point. In a preferred embodiment the flexible beams permit fluid to flow around the beams for pressure equalization in deep hole applications.
