20. Because crack a divides the tube along the diameter into two parts, planar surface b undergoes two independent cracks, one on each side of crack a. However, to lighten the writing, these two cracks are denoted as crack b here and in the sequel.
21. Because this length is not constant, one shall rather speak about a pseudowavelength, but the term wavelength is kept in the text to lighten its discussion.
