Abstract
The new method of quantitative estimation of the elastic properties of clay minerals was considered. The principles of crystal-chemical systematization of clay minerals elastic properties form the basis of this method. The accurate mathematical method of elastic properties approximation of medium with any symmetry to the most similar transversely-isotropic elastic medium was proved. This method can be used for prediction of the elastic constant of other rock constituents.
