The plane strain problem of determining stress intensity factors and crack energy for a pair of equal collinear moving Griffith cracks situated at the interface of two bonded dissimilar orthotropic half planes has been considered. The problem is reduced to solving a pair of simultaneous singular integral equations which have finally been solved by using Jacobi polynomials. Expressions for stress intensity factors and crack energy are obtained for some particular cases and the results are presented graphically.
