Hello All,
I am looking into violent rock failure and would like to determine the elastic properties of minerals (e.g. Young's elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio), but I haven't found much regarding standard procedures or testing machine requirements and hoped someone on the list maybe familiar with this.
I am wondering what machines are out there to do the testing and do I need to obtain individual crystals or can I test hand samples and/or thin-sections?
Thanks,
Mark
