Rock property calculator

Instructions

This web service calculates elastic and acoustic properties of mineral aggregates ($K_S$, $K_T$, $G$, $\rho$, $v_p$, $v_s$, possion ratio $\nu$) as in Abers and Hackers (2016). The use is intuitive. Several published rock compositions are available from the dropdown menu but they can be edited. Results can be plotted versus pressure or temperature by choosing of ordinate. Results can be viewed or downloaded in table or plot formats.
