Abstract
The plane-elasticity problem of the equilibrium of a system of uniformly distributed cracks of equal length intersecting in a single point is considered. The system is located with concentrated forces applied to the tips of the wedges cut out by the cracks and acting along the bisectrices of the wedges. An analytical expression is found for the singularity coefficient of the stress field at the tip of the cracks.
