  ABSTRACT: Dynamic stresses around three parallel cracks in an infinite elastic plate that is subjected to incident time-harmonic stress waves normal to the cracks have been solved. Using the Fourier transform technique, the boundary conditions are reduced to six simultaneous integral equations. To solve these equations, the differences of displacements inside the cracks are expanded in a series. The unknown coefficients in those series are solved using the Schmidt method such that the conditions inside the cracks are satisfied. Numerical calculations are carried out for some crack configurations.
