Abstract
Integral and Series equations are very useful in the theory of elasticity, elastostatics , diffraction theory and
acoustics. Particularly these equations are very much useful in finding the solution of crack problems of fracture
mechanics. In this paper solution of simultaneous triple series equations associated with Laguerre polynomials
with matrix argument has been obtained , which arises in the Crack problems of Fracture Machanics.
Keywords: Integral equations, Series equations , Laguerre polynomials, Matrix argument.
