Abstract
Apparatus and methods to evaluate a pipe structure taking buckling into account can be implemented in a variety of applications. Responses can be measured at a set of receivers of a tool in response to exciting the pipe structure with one or more electromagnetic signals transmitted from a set of transmitters of the tool. The set of receivers and the set of transmitters can be located within the pipe structure. Circuitry can be used to determine the presence of buckling of the pipe structure based on comparison of the measured responses with one or more forward models of the pipe structure. The pipe structure may be associated with a well site, such as, for example, a casing structure for a production well.
