DISTRIBUTED SENSORS TO MEASURE CEMENT STATE

摘要

A system for determining a curing state for cement disposed in a borehole penetrating the earth that includes a transceiver that includes a transmitting coil and that is configured to provide an input signal to the coil that sweeps through a frequency range and to measure the magnitude of the voltage across the coil. The system also includes a plurality of sensor nodes disposed in the concrete. The sensor nodes include a receiving coil and a capacitor coupled to the receiving coil to form a receiving circuit and that has a capacitance that changes as one of pressure or strain in the cement changes.
