AB  - In this work, element free Galerkin method (EFGM) has been used to obtain the solution of centre crack problem under thermo-mechanical loads as it provides a versatile technique to model static as well as moving crack problems without any requirement of re-meshing. Diffraction criterion has been used to model crack geometry. The effect of crack orientation of centre crack has been studied under both mechanical and equivalent thermal loading under plane stress conditions. The values of mode-I and mode-II stress intensity factors have been evaluated by the interaction integral approach.
