1. A method for estimating a property of an earth formation, the method comprising: obtaining a sample of rock from the earth formation; scanning the sample with a volumetric imaging device to obtain a three-dimensional volume representation of the sample; determining internal rock damage of the sample using the three-dimensional volume representation of the sample; performing one or more tests on the sample using a rock test device; measuring a deformation parameter of the sample using a deformation sensor; constructing a mathematical model of the sample that replicates the determined and measured internal rock damage and damage distribution of the sample; simulating the one or more tests using the mathematical model; obtaining a rock deformation parameter using the one or more simulated tests corresponding to the measured rock deformation parameter; comparing the rock deformation parameter obtained from the one or more simulated tests to the corresponding measured rock deformation parameter; adjusting parameters of the mathematical model based upon the rock parameter obtained from simulation not being within a selected range of the measured rock parameter; and providing the mathematical model as a verified mathematical model based upon the rock parameter obtained from simulation being within a selected range of the measured rock parameter; wherein the determining, constructing, obtaining a rock deformation parameter, comparing adjusting, and providing are performed using a processor.
