A semi-empirical relation between static and dynamic elastic modulus

Based on the concept of effective Young's modulus, we suggested a relationship to predict the value of static Young's modulus from dynamic Young's modulus and porosity data. The approach was performed for different rock types, and the predictions were found to be very accurate. This research explored different views on this aspect and facilitated better decision making to determine the static Young's modulus of rocks in the case where only dynamic data were available.
