Abstract
Systems and methods of evaluating well cementation are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a tool is lowered into a casing surrounded by an annular material within a wellbore. An emitter of the tool emits an acoustic signal at a first pitch angle selected to excite a mixed-mode Lamb wave comprising a symmetric extensional (Sn) mode and an asymmetric flexural (An) mode of a Lamb wave in the casing. A receiver of the tool that is disposed at a first distance from the emitter receives a portion of the Lamb wave that has leaked from the casing at approximately the first distance.
