The solutions are obtained by the linear superposition of fundamental solutions in the Laplace transform domain. The fundamental solution is the exponentially distributed traction on crack faces proposed by Tsai and Ma [1]. The exact closed form solutions of stress intensity factor histories for these two inclined cracks subjected to incident plane waves and diffracted waves are obtained explicitly. These solutions are valid for the time interval from initial loading until the first wave scattered at one crack tip returns to the same crack tip after being diffracted by another crack tip. The result shows that the contribution of diffracted waves to stress intensity factors is much less than the incident waves. The probable crack propagation direction is predicted from the fracture criterion of maximum circumferential tensile stress. The linkage of these two cracks is also investigated in detail.
