This note deals with the stress intensity factors (SIFs) for double edge half-circular-hole cracks in a rectangular sheet in tension by means of the displacement discontinuity method with crack-tip elements (a boundary element method) proposed recently by the author. Moreover, an empirical formula of the SIFs of the crack problem is presented and examined. It is found that the empirical formula is simple, yet accurate for evaluating the SIFs of the crack problem.
