Abstract
In this paper, the behavior of two collinear anti-plane shear cracks in a piezoelectric layer bonded to two half spaces is investigated by a new method for the impermeable crack face conditions. The cracks are parallel to the interfaces in the mid-plane of the piezoelectric layer. By using the Fourier transform, the problem can be solved with two pairs of triple integral equations. These equations are solved using the Schmidt method. This process is quite different from that adopted previously. Numerical examples are provided to show the effect of the geometry of the interacting cracks and the piezoelectric constants of the material upon the stress intensity factor of the cracks.
