The stress intensity factors are calculated for collinear internal cracks and an edge crack in a semi-infinite sheet subjected to arbitrary tractions. Analysis is conducted by formulating the integral equations of tractions along the plate edge and crack surfaces. The accuracy is checked with known results in the literature. Then, the numerical analysis is used to establish the stress intensity factors for various sizes of the edge crack and internal cracks in tension. Also, the stress intensity factors are calculated for the edge crack and internal crack subjected to typical distributed loadings, and the effects of mutual interaction between the cracks are presented.
