The near crack line analysis method was used to investigate a centric crack loaded by two pairs of point shear forces in a finite plate, and the analytical solution was obtained. The solution includes the unit normal vector of the elastic-plastic boundary near the crack line, the elastic-plastic stress fields near the crack line, the variations of the length of the plastic zone along the crack line with an external load, and the bearing capacity of a finite plate with a centric crack loaded by two pairs of point shear forces. The results are sufficiently precise near the crack line because the assumptions of small scale yielding theory have not been made and no other assumptions are taken.
