The problem of an anisotropic elastic slab containing two arbitrarily-oriented coplanar cracks in its interior is considered. Using a Fourier integral transform technique, we reduce the problem to a system of simultaneous finite-part singular integral equations which can be solved numerically. Once the integral equations are solved, relevant quantities such as the crack energy can be readily computed. Numerical results for specific examples are obtained.
