Non-singular terms for multiple cracks in anisotropic elastic solids

The non-singular and bounded terms for the stresses near the crack tip are investigated. This paper deals with the multiple crack problem for an infinite plate. The original problem is decomposed into three elementary subproblems: (1) the problem for remote uniform stress filed without cracks; (2) the single crack problem with traction applied along the crack face and (3) the problem for the influence of the other cracks. Several examples for collinear and non-collinear cracks are discussed and the results are shown.
