    Abstract: An experimental method and system for simulating the evolution of reservoir fracture stress field, the experimental method comprises the following steps: (S1) preparing horizontal well fracturing model (100); (S2) applying boundary loads and constraints to the horizontal well fracturing model (100); (S3) injecting fracturing fluid or fracturing gas into a fracturing wellbore (130) of the horizontal well fracturing model (100) after loading for fracturing; in a fracturing stage, a photoelastic fringe image of the horizontal well fracturing model (100) is obtained by an optical phase shift method; the fracturing stage comprises an initial state before fracturing fluid or fracturing gas is injected and an end state after fracturing is completed. The experimental method and system can effectively simulate the whole process of horizontal well fracturing, and accurately obtain the variation law of reservoir stress field and its influence on crack propagation during horizontal well fracturing.

    Abstract: Provided are a system and a method for monitoring bearing compression rate of a filler in a coal mine gob area. An ground information processing system, a vibration source control system, and a monitoring system are arranged on the ground according to a buried depth of the filler in the gob area. The vibration source control system generates vibration, and transmits a signal to the filler. The monitoring system on the ground receives different reflected waves according to different elasticities of the fillers under different compaction degrees. Final data is transmitted to the ground information processing system for data processing. The monitoring of the filler starts when the filler is filled in the gob area; the filler is gradually compacted. The filler is monitored until the thickness of the filler does not change. Finally, a bearing compression rate formula is utilized to calculate the bearing compression rate of the filler.

    Abstract: A method for measuring the dynamic stress field evolution law of a complex heterogeneous structure, comprising: preparing a transparent photosensitive resin model of a complex heterogeneous structure by means of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to serve as a test piece (S101); placing the test piece in a light path of a circularly polarized light dark field, performing continuous stress loading on the test piece, and recording images (S102); acquiring a plurality of continuously changing full-field stress fringe grayscale images according to videos generated by the image recording (S103); then acquiring grayscale value change sequences of pixel points at each position in the images (S104); and finally, calculating full-field fringe orders under continuous loading conditions according to the relation between the grayscale values and the fringe orders so as to calculate full-field stress values under the continuous loading conditions (S105). Thus, it is possible to extract and quantify the global dynamic stress field evolution law of a complex heterogeneous structure subjected to high exterior load under fixed light field conditions.
