In this paper, the fracture problem of a piezoelectric material strip containing two coplanar cracks perpendicular to its boundaries is considered. The problem is solved for a strip that is suddenly heated from both the top and the bottom surfaces under static mechanical loading. By using the Fourier transform, the thermoelectromechanical fracture problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations, which are solved numerically. The numerical results for the stress and thermal stress intensity factors are computed as a function of the normalized time and geometric parameters. The results for the crack contact problem are also included.
