heal.abstract	The concept of path independent integrals introduced previously for homogeneous media is extended to the case of a crack in the interface between dissimilar half planes. Using any of the pathindependent integrals defined in this paper we obtain the stress intensity factor when the lips of the crack are loaded by identical distributions of stresses in both lips, or by concentrated forces or couples. The above integrals are extended in order to include the case of an arbitrary number of collinear cracks in the interface of two half planes. The case of periodic cracks may be derived from the above analysis. Finally, an interesting generalization may be obtained for the case where arbitrary cracks, inclusions or concentrated forces and couples, not necessarily applied at the lips of the crack, interact. © 1982 Springer-Verlag.	en
