In the present work finite element method has been employed to study the interaction of multiple cracks in a\udfinite rectangular plate of unit thickness with cracks on the same side under uniaxial loading conditions. The variation of\udthe stress intensity factor and stress distribution around the crack tip with crack offset distance has been studied. Due to\udthe presence of a neighbouring crack, two types of interactions viz. intensification and shielding effect have been\udobserved. The interaction between the cracks is seen to be dependent on the crack offset distance. It is seen that the\udpresence of a neighbouring crack results in the appearance of mode II stress intensity factor which was otherwise absent\udfor a single edge crack. It can be said that the proximity of cracks is non-desirable for structural integrity. The von-Mises\udstress for different crack orientations has been computed. Linear elastic analysis of state of stress around the crack tip has\udalso been done
