Pseudo–Static solution procedure • for pseudo–static strategy: calculate the constant matrices D = βM set M = 0 after initializing the damping matrix.

Prediction of the size of those ”waves” commonly called ”wrinkles” is not generally possible as their disposition is somehow random and connected to initial imperfections. However their average size is strictly connected to the bending stiffness meaning in particular that for the problems of interest the wrinkle
