An apparatus for measuring mechanical properties of a downhole material, including first and second fixtures each of the fixtures containing a force application fixture to apply a stress to a specimen of the downhole material. A confining sleeve wraps around portions of the first and second fixtures to form a sealed specimen chamber defined by an inner surface of the confining sleeve and ends of the first and second fixtures nearest the specimen. Wall of a confining chamber contain the first and second fixtures, the confining sleeve and the specimen therein. The confining chamber holds a hydraulic fluid therein such that the hydraulic fluid can exert a confining pressure on the confining sleeve to maintain the seal of the specimen chamber and to maintain contact between the inner surface of the confining sleeve and the specimen when the stress is applied to the specimen. First channels pass though one or more of the walls of the confining chamber to add and remove the hydraulic fluid to and from the confining chamber. Second channels pass though one or more of the walls of the confining chamber and through one of the first and second fixtures to add and remove a pore space fluid to and from specimen chamber ports open to the specimen chamber to maintain a pore pressure at the specimen chamber ports that is equal to or less than the confining pressure while the stress is applied to the specimen. A system and method are also disclosed.

A high-temperature in-situ loaded computed tomography (CT) testing system based on a laboratory X-ray source and a method therefor are provided. A dynamic sealing device is adopted. A pull-up pressure rod and a pull-down pressure rod are allowed to rotate circumferentially and move axially. Meanwhile, a high-temperature furnace is fixed without rotating or moving, such that the high-temperature furnace is flat in an imaging direction to shorten an imaging distance and improve imaging quality. An independent tensile testing machine is utilized to achieve high-load loading. The in-situ measurement of internal deformation and damage information of a specimen under tensile or compressive load in a high-temperature environment is implemented. By taking advantage of the miniaturization design of the high-temperature device, the accuracy of the damage test using the laboratory X-ray source is increased. Tests and researches on the internal damage and failure behavior of the high-temperature materials can be conducted.

A method for assessing an effect of hypoxia on a tissue includes providing a sample of the tissue in a hermetically sealed container, determining a first amount of a reaction substrate (e.g., protocatechuic acid) to be introduced into the sealed container and determining a second amount of a reaction enzyme (e.g., protocatechuate dioxygenase) to be introduced into the sealed container. The method further includes introducing the reaction substrate and the reaction enzyme into the sealed container. At least one of the first amount of the reaction substrate and the second amount of the reaction enzyme is selected to induce at least one of a predetermined amount of hypoxia less than anoxia and a predetermined rate of hypoxia in the tissue during a reaction between the reaction substrate and the reaction enzyme. Values of properties of the tissue can be measured before and after the reaction to assess effects of hypoxia.
