This paper deals with the tensile forces acting on the three slender rigid inclusions in an infinite elastic plate under tensions. A method of fundamental solution is presented for the problem by using the Kelvin's solution in the two dimensional theory of elasticity. A principle of the method of solution is to distribute body forces so as to satisfy boundary conditions of the problem. Influences of the length and the distances between the three inclusions on the tensile forces are investigated by numerical calculations and compared with the results for the case of two slender inclusions.
