A numerical method of calculation by the finite difference method to solve an elastic stress analysis problem of rectangular domain is presented, and a scheme for treating the neighborhood of a crack tip is proposed. By using this method, the stress intensity factors of rectangular plates and strips with one or two cracks in mode I and mode II are calculated, and these results are compared with results by some other methods presented before to show the validity of this method.
