The paper titled "The Study by Mr. Wu etc Concerning Saint-Venant’s Principle is Insignificant" 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.
