چکیده
In the past decade, a wide variety of rock-physics modeling publications for different reservoir rocks have been emerged as workflows and case studies. But these studies are generally very case-specific and limited to few rock-physics models. Besides, these literatures rarely describe the workflow details and codes and are specific to that reservoir. To address these limitations, I have developed a comprehensive and easy-to-use rock-physics modeling toolbox in MATLAB (RockMat) that cover a wide variety of models to define the rock properties. These models include theoretical models (such as inclusion, crack and contact models), bound models, experimental models and fluid effect models (including fluid substitutions and frequency-dependent attenuation models). RockMat is developed in a modular scheme where the models can easily be combined to define more sophisticated models. The models are validated with different industrial packages and/or the original literatures.

Abstract
In the past decade, a wide variety of rock-physics modeling publications for different reservoir rocks have been emerged as workflows and case studies. But these studies are generally very case-specific and limited to few rock-physics models. Besides, these literatures rarely describe the workflow details and codes and are specific to that reservoir. To address these limitations, I have developed a comprehensive and easy-to-use rock-physics modeling toolbox in MATLAB (RockMat) that cover a wide variety of models to define the rock properties. These models include theoretical models (such as inclusion, crack and contact models), bound models, experimental models and fluid effect models (including fluid substitutions and frequency-dependent attenuation models). RockMat is developed in a modular scheme where the models can easily be combined to define more sophisticated models. The models are validated with different industrial packages and/or the original literatures.
