Empirical equations for bulk and shear moduli of dry sandstones based on grain-scale numerical simulations

Elastic properties of rocks are largely controlled by parameters of grain contacts. In this paper, many computer 3D models of grain aggregates are generated for different parameters of grain contacts. Then, for each of these models, elastic properties are computed using finite element simulations. F...
