Abstract
On the basis of the variational formula for an elastic body with a crack (cut), we suggest a method for the construction of weight functions for internal plane elliptic cuts. For an unbounded elastic body, the weight function is constructed in the explicit form. A special case of concentrated forces applied to the center of the elliptic cut is studied in detail.
