An extended displacement discontinuity (EDD) boundary integral equation method is proposed for analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar cracks in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal quasicrystals (QCs) with thermal effects. The EDDs include the phonon and phason displacement discontinuities and the temperature discontinuity on the crack surface. Green's functions for unit point EDDs in an infinite three-dimensional medium of 2D hexagonal QC are derived using the Hankel transform method. Based on the Green's functions and the superposition theorem, the EDD boundary integral equations for an arbitrarily shaped planar crack in an infinite 2D hexagonal QC body are established. Using the EDD boundary integral equation method, the asymptotic behavior along the crack front is studied and the classical singular index of 1/2 is obtained at the crack edge. The extended stress intensity factors are expressed in terms of the EDDs across crack surfaces. Finally, the energy release rate is obtained using the definitions of the stress intensity factors.
