Investigation of the Fracturing Effect Induced by the Disturbing Stress of Hydrofracturing Using the Bonded-Particle Model

Hydraulic fracturing applications have shown a stress disturbance effect during hydraulic fracture propagation, which is often ignored. Using laboratory and discrete element numerical simulation tests, hydraulic fracture propagation under this stress disturbance is systematically studied. The result...
