Abstract: In the paper, the verification of the limit load solutions for a centrally cracked plate under
tension (CC(T)) is presented using FEM calculations. Numerical calculations and analysis
of the obtained FEM results were used to recalculation of the existing limit load formulas
proposed by EPRI procedures for plane strain and plane stress. After verification of the EPRI
solutions, three dimensional FEM calculation was done to determine the limit loads for 3D
cases of CC(T) specimens. The measurable effect of the paper is a catalogue of numerical
solutions and their approximations, which may be useful in the engineering analysis.
