Abstract:
The authors regret the statement made in the introduction section on the anisotropic stress-based model proposed by Nguyen
et al. (2018) in Ref. [16]. < The authors would like to remove the statement ‘As a result, damage and nonlocal equivalent strain
profiles can suffer oscillations during the final stages of failure’ from the introduction part. >
The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
