In a previous paper an analysis of the path prediction for a single line crack in sheets of brittle material has been performed. In this work, the analysis is extended to a system of two collinear cracks embedded in an infinite medium subjected to biaxial loading. The interaction between the crack p

The problem presented in this paper is a model related to the collinear three-body problem which is itself a special case of the full three-body problem where three point masses interact under inverse square gravitation. The three-body problem has been known since Newton to be notoriously difficult.
The classical approach to external crack problems reduces them to the solution of some equivalent problems for a half-space. It is known that the stresses at the boundary plane z = 0 usually are not in equilibrium, which implies an existence of equilibrating forces and moments at infinity. Recently,
Aimtract-Integral transform techniques are employed to determine the stress intensity factors of two collinear cracks which are parallel to the edges of a linear thermoelastic strip. The problem is reduced to a singular integral equation which is solved using numerical methods. Results for the stres
