The antiplane problem of the periodic parallel cracks in an infinite linear elastic orthotropic composite plate is studied in this paper. The antiplane problem is turned into the boundary value problem of partial differential equation. By constructing proper Westergaard stress function and using the periodicity of the hyperbolic function, the antiplane problem of the periodic parallel cracks degenerates into an algebra problem. Using the complex variable function method and the undetermined coefficients method, as well as with the help of boundary conditions, the boundary value problem of partial differential equation can be solved, and the analytic expressions for stress intensity factor, stress, and displacement near the periodical parallel cracks tip are obtained. When the cracks spacing tends to infinity, the antiplane problem of the periodic parallel cracks degenerates into the case of the antiplane problem of a single central crack.
