    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.
