Experimental phenomena (i.e., strengthening or weakening effects) for typical notched specimens subjected to the above three loading conditions are summarized, and the related...

.... Under monotonically increasing curvature, it was postulated that the “rupture failure” can only occur in the tensile wall on the opposite side of the wrinkling and no rupture is likely to occur at the wrinkling location in the compressive wall even after excessive distortion. Fatigue Finite...
