Figure 9 : Profiles of the predicted failure loads for variable  : divergence for  =0.0001mm (red dashed line), green dashed line:  =0.01mm, blue dashed dotted  =0.0075 mm, ciano continuous line:  =0.002mm; circles indicate experimental results. Figure 10 : Comparison of the static failure loads obtained with the present approach (blue continuous line) with the experimental results presented in [2].
