The invention provides a device and a method for detecting mechanical parameters of
hydrate-containing sediments based on X-CT. The device comprises a reaction kettle, a shear loading unit, a
back pressure control unit, an unloading pressure loading unit and a
strain measurement unit, wherein the reaction kettle body is a
beryllium or carbon
fiber pressure-resistant
pipe, and the two end are sealed with end covers; the outer side of the lower end cover is connected with an
axial pressure loading counter-force mechanism; an upper sample adjusting
cushion block, a
sediment sample, a lower sampleadjusting
cushion block and an
axial pressure loading
piston are arranged in the reaction kettle from top to bottom. According to the device and the method, high-pressure conditions required for synthesizing the
methane hydrate are met, and the axial temperature of the sample can be precisely controlled, so that the sample is uniformly distributed; the
sample preparation efficiency can be improved through the rapid
temperature control, the sample size can be adjusted, and the purpose of controlling height-
diameter ratios of the different samples is achieved; and the
synchronous detection of astress-strain curve of the sediments containing the
natural gas hydrate and the internal destructive microstructures of the sediments can be achieved, and the constant strain shearing and the
constant stress creep tests can be realized.
