In this paper, the two-dimensional problem of a circular hole with two unequal cracks in infinite thermoelectric materials subjected to a uniform electric current and thermal flux is studied. Meanwhile, the boundary conditions at hole and cracks are assumed to be electrically impermeable and thermally impermeable. By using the complex function method and the conformal mapping theory, the exact solutions of the electric current density and the total energy flux are obtained. Furthermore, according to the theory of fracture mechanics, the intensity factors of electric current density, total energy flux density and stress at the crack tip have been obtained, which are proportional to the applied far-field loads, respectively. On the other hand, these field intensity factors are closely related to the radius of the circular hole and the lengths of cracks. The analytical solution is in good agreement with the regularized simulation results given by COMSOL commercial finite element code. Further numerical experiments reveal the effects of circular hole radius and lengths of cracks on the dimensionless thermoelectric and stress field intensity factors.
