A solution for an elastic quarter plane containing an arbitrarily oriented crack is presented. The problem is formulated by means of Mellin integral transforms and reduced to a system of two coupled singular integral equations where the unknown quantities are the dislocation densities that characterize the crack. Numerical solutions are investigated for various orientations of the cracks. In each case the stress intensity factors are computed for the different parameters.
