The fracture problem of two symmetric branch cracks in one-dimensional hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystals is studied and the analytical forms of the stress field, potential shift field, and energy release rate of the double symmetric branch crack are derived through analysis using the complex function method. And furthermore, the influence of branch crack deflection angle and crack length on the strength factor of the double symmetric branch crack tip field is analyzed and discussed. The results indicate that when the angle is within the range of ,as the crack deflection angle increases, the dimensionless stress intensity factor at the tip of the main support crack gradually decreases; as the length of the main branch crack increases, the dimensionless stress intensity factor at the tip of the main branch crack increases; as the length of the branch crack increases, the dimensionless stress intensity factor at the tip of the main branch crack increases.
