Abstract
This study deals with the problem of multiple edge cracks in an elastic orthotropic half-plane under transient loading. The dislocation solution is utilized to derive integral equations for multiple interacting edge cracks in an orthotropic half-plane. These equations are solved numerically thereby obtaining the dislocation density function on the crack faces and stress intensity factors at crack tips. Numerical results are obtained to illustrate the variation of the dynamic stress intensity factors as a function of crack length and material properties.
