Diffraction of an antiplane shear wave by two coplanar griffith cracks in an infinite elastic medium

The scattering of a time-harmonic antiplane shear wave by two parallel and coplanar Griffith cracks embedded in an infinite elastic medium is considered. The input wave normally impinges on the cracks. Fourier transformations are utilized to reduce the problem to two simultaneous integral equations which can be solved by the series expansion method. The dynamic stress intensity factors are numerically computed.
