In this paper, analysis of the M-integral in plane elasticity is carried out. An infinite plate with any number of inclusions and cracks and with any applied forces and remote tractions is considered. To study the problem, the mutual work difference integral (abbreviated as MWDI) is introduced, which is defined by the difference of works done by each other stress field on a large circle. The concept of the derivative stress field is also introduced, which is a real elasticity solution and is derived from the physical stress field. It is found that the M-integral on a large circle is equal to a MWDI from the physical stress field and a derivative stress field. Finally, the expression for M-integral on a large circle is obtained. The variation for the M-integral with respect to the coordinate transformation is addressed. An illustrative example for the use of M-integral is presented.
