Computing Elastic Moduli of Igneous Rocks Using Modal Composition and Effective Medium Theory
Elastic constants of rock materials are the basic parameters required for modeling the response of rock materials under mechanical loads. Experimental tests for determining these properties are expensive, time-consuming and suffer from a high uncertainty
