    Abstract: A transparent constraint apparatus for the normal deformation of a planar model, including rigid transparent retainer plates, a planar model, and magnetic force components. The magnetic force components are provided at edge positions of the rigid transparent retainer plates; the normal direction of the planar model is parallel to the normal direction of the two rigid transparent retainer plates, and said two retainer plates are symmetrically arranged relative to the plane of symmetry of the planar model; the magnetic force components are symmetrically arranged relative to the plane of symmetry of the planar model, mutually symmetrical magnetic force components producing mutually attractive magnetic force. The transparent constraint apparatus solves the problem of constraining the normal deformation of a planar model under planar-strain conditions during testing.

    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.
