| This paper reviewed the series of four works of “proof of
Saint-Venant’s Principle” published by Wu etc .The four articles proved
neither the discrete Saint-Venant type decay of section-forces of the
finite elements in the chain model of discretization of the cylinder nor
the discrete Saint-Venant-type decay of section-displacements, posed in
their papers. Furthermore, the discrete Saint-Venant type decay of
section-forces is not provable. Nevertheless, the proposition of the
discrete mixed Saint-Venant type decay of the cylinder was discussed
in Wu’s articles by taking the “super” forms of the two single decays
mentioned above as a priori assumptions, and so the discussion is of
uncertainty, or meaningless, for proof of Saint-Venant’s Principle.
