• The problem of an embedded crack in a FGMEEM was considered;
• The problem was formulated using the method of Singular Integral Equations (SIEs);
• The SIEs were solved numerically using orthogonal polynomial solutions (Chebyshev polynomials).
• Fields intensity factors (mechanical, electric and magnetic) increase with the nonhomogeneity parameter ;
• Mode I, electric displacement and magnetic induction intensity factors have the same parity opposite to that of mode II intensity factor.
