Abstract
The plane elastostatic problem of an isotropic elastic half-plane containing an arbitrary system of cracks is considered. Fourier transform technique is employed to obtain the edge dislocation solutions. Using the edge dislocation solutions as Green's functions, the problem is formulated in terms of a system of singular integral equations. The system of singular integral equations is solved numerically for various crack combinations and external loads. The stress intensity factors and the probably cleavage angles are studied in detail.
