In this paper, the problem of an infinite row of parallel cracks in a piezoelectric material strip is analyzed under static mechanical and transient thermal loadings. The crack faces are supposed to be completely insulated. By using the Laplace and Fourier transforms, the thermoelectromechanical problem is reduced to a singular integral equation, which is solved numerically. The stress intensity factors for both the embedded and edge cracks are computed. The results for the crack contact problem are also included
