Abstract
Summary
We propose the new numerical algorithm for evaluating elastic properties of the rock core samples by 3D CT digital images. This approach is based on the numerical simulation of a series of physical experiments by combination of the energy equivalence principle and the new iterative relaxation method. On this base, the effective compliance and stiffness tensors of a representative volume of a core sample is computed. The proposed method is verified using synthetic samples with specified properties.
