Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Law of Composite Rock Materials considering the Disturbing Stress Effect

<div>Two methods for judging the interactive coalescence mode of hydraulic fracturing fracture and bedding plane: (a) the impact of stress disturbance is considered; (b) the fracturing effect induced by disturbing stress of hydrofracturing is not considered (Taleghani’s fracture path criterion [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2021/9920633/#B62">62</a>]).</div>
