A new analytical model for fibrillar viscoelastic adhesion using the Schapery or the Shrimali-Lopez-Pamies nucleation models

Hello:  I would be interested in any comment about this preprint on fibrillar viscoelastic adhesion, originally devised by Schargott Popov and Gorb, where we use for the first time not only the Schapery model for nucleation of cracks, but also the Shrimali and Lopez Pamies, which leads to quite stronger enhancement of adhesion (the limit is the square of the Schapery one), and pull-off with no real prior propagation phase.  Propagation with Schapery nucleation criterion is found to be qualitatively similar to the Schapery and Persson-Brener propagation theories, except that the reference velocities are completely different here, and there is also a strong effect of preload on the propagation curve.  The characteristic velocity is perhaps also more realistic since the classical theories suffer from ridiculously small fits for the cohesive zone size.    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/387190378_Simple_models_of_viscoelastic_brillar_adhesion_to_a_rigid_sphere
