The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The central objects are the Generalised Maxwell and Generalised Kelvin-Voigt rheological models of the bristle element, which provide arbitrary-order linear viscoelastic constitutive relations. They are converted, using the implicit-function theorem and a one-step Newton truncation, into lumped ODE models (FrBD n+1-GM and FrBD n+1-GKV), then into first-order hyperbolic PDE systems by an Eulerian transport formulation with boundary conditions at the leading edge. The passivity proofs rest on storage functions that are weighted L2 sums of the elastic energies of the rheological branches; differentiating them along the PDE dynamics and using the condition div(p V-bar) <= 0 converts the dissipat
What would settle it
Numerically integrate the full implicit algebraic equation (14) with the exact Jacobian and compare its solution to the one-step truncation (17) in a near-stick rolling cycle where the bristle deformation rate approaches the rigid slip; any material gap in generated force and moment would show the core derivation is not uniformly valid.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The core claim is that coupling the FrBD bristle deformation dynamics to standard Generalised Maxwell and Generalised Kelvin-Voigt constitutive equations yields a family of distributed friction models whose state evolution is described by a first-order hyperbolic PDE system with internal relaxation states. For the linear versions, the paper proves existence and uniqueness of mild and classical solutions via semigroup arguments, and proves passivity with respect to the slip input: the time derivative of the stored elastic energy is bounded by the product of contact force and slip, under the single structural condition that the local pressure times transport velocity has non-positive divergenc
Load-bearing premise
The load-bearing premise is that bristle deformation rate stays small compared with rigid slip, so the one-step implicit-function truncation that produces the lumped dynamics is accurate; no error bound is provided for this step.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- Relaxation spectra measured by dynamic mechanical analysis can be inserted directly into rolling-contact simulations as GM or GKV branch parameters, replacing empirical relaxation lengths.
- The passivity proofs guarantee that coupling the distributed friction model to vehicle or multibody dynamics preserves closed-loop stability for any positive semidefinite stiffness and damping matrices.
- Higher-order rheological branches introduce time and space relaxation lengths that produce transient overshoot and delayed settling, so first-order models may underestimate transient peaks in rapid manoeuvres.
- Steady-state force-slip surfaces are independent of rheological order, allowing steady and transient data to be identified separately.
- The GM/GKV equivalence means the two realisations give identical input-output behaviour, so the state-space choice can be made for numerical convenience.
Reading between the lines
- A rigorous error bound for the one-step Newton truncation is missing; quantifying it in near-stick conditions would determine the model's validity domain and is a natural next step.
- The passivity condition on the pressure distribution suggests a testable criterion: for a given tyre or roller contact, measured pressure profiles can be checked against div(p V-bar) <= 0, including under large spin.
- Since fractional viscoelastic models can be approximated by GM/GKV spectra, the framework likely extends toward fractional constitutive laws by taking many branches, but the paper leaves the convergence analysis implicit.
- The vertical moment response is more sensitive than forces to the relaxation spectrum, suggesting moment measurements may be the most discriminating experimental observable for identifying viscoelastic bristle parameters.

Referee Report
Summary. The paper extends the distributed rolling-contact FrBD framework to linear viscoelasticity by replacing the single Kelvin-Voigt bristle element with Generalised Maxwell (GM) and Generalised Kelvin-Voigt (GKV) rheologies. The lumped ODEs of Sect. 2 are converted in Sect. 3 into hyperbolic PDE systems with 2(n+1) states, and three rolling-contact variants are introduced: Models 1 (standard linear, small spin), Models 2 (semilinear, large spin), and Models 3 (linearised large-spin). Section 4 claims well-posedness, ISS/IOS, and, in Lemmata 4.1 and 4.2, passivity of the two linear formulations for physically meaningful parameters, with storage functions built from elastic branch energies. Numerical experiments in Sect. 5 illustrate steady-state force-slip surfaces and transient relaxation for n=1,2.
Significance. The GM/GKV extension is a genuinely useful step beyond the single-relaxation FrBD1-KV model: it offers a state-space, hyperbolic-PDE route to incorporate arbitrary-order linear viscoelastic relaxation spectra into distributed rolling-contact friction models, and it explicitly treats both GM and GKV realisations. The passivity analysis for Models 1 is carefully derived and would be a valuable result; the qualitative numerical comparisons of force/moment responses across rheological orders are also informative. However, the current manuscript does not establish the analogous claims for Models 3: the definition of the linearised coefficient matrix is dimensionally inconsistent, and the passivity proofs omit the spin-induced coupling terms that distinguish Models 3 from Models 1. Because the abstract and Section 4 explicitly claim rigorous passivity for 'the linear variants' including Models 3, these are load-bearing defects that require revision before the paper can be accepted.
major comments (2)
- [Eq. (46c), Eq. (48a), Theorem 4.2] Even after the projection is inserted, the passivity proofs do not close. For the GM case, substituting \bar v_r = \bar v − A_{φ2} z into the first row of (28a) gives an extra +A_{φ2} z term in ∂z/∂s, and the i-th row gains +K_i A_{φ2} z in ∂f_i/∂s. These terms are absent from Eqs. (55)–(57). When carried through the differentiation of the storage function (54), they produce contributions z^T K0 A_{φ2} z and Σ f_i^T A_{φ2} z, which are not sign-definite for general anisotropic K0, K_i, and therefore do not respect inequality (58). The same omission occurs in the GKV proof, where Eq. (60a) should contain +A_{φ2}(z0 + Σz_i) in the z0 dynamics. Thus Lemmata 4.1 and 4.2 do not, as written, prove passivity for Models 3; additional structural assumptions or a different passivity notion are needed.
- [Sect. 2.2] The derivation of the lumped FrBD dynamics rests on a double approximation: the condition ||ż||_2 << ||v_r||_2 and the truncation of the implicit-function iteration (15) at k=1 with initial guess ż0=0. No error estimate or validity bound is provided for this truncation, and in rolling contact the smallness of ||ż|| relative to ||v_r|| is not guaranteed near the leading edge or in near-stick regions. Since Eq. (17) is the foundation of all PDE models analysed in Section 4, the paper should at least quantify the residual of the implicit-function step or justify the approximation regime with numerical evidence. The current claim that the resulting models preserve dissipative behaviour is only conditional on this unquantified step.
minor comments (3)
- [Notation and typos] There are several typographical issues in the notation and text: 'N [ f0g' should read 'N ∪ {0}', 'R2 3 u(x,s)' should be 'u(x,s) ∈ R^2', 'rFrBD' in the Conclusions should be 'FrBD', and 'the authors declare' in the compliance statement should be 'the author declares' for a sole-authored paper. These do not affect the technical content.
- [Theorem 4.2 / Sect. 4.1] The proofs of Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 are deferred to the companion paper [88]. This is acceptable if the companion is freely available, but the manuscript should state which exact assumptions are imported and which parts of the proof are new, especially since Theorem 4.2 currently relies on the ill-defined \tildeΣ_φ of Eq. (46c).
- [Figures 4–10] The figure captions use line styles to distinguish FrBD1-KV, FrBD2-GM, and FrBD3-GM, but some figures (e.g., Figs. 4, 5, 8–10) do not specify whether the plotted data correspond to Models 1, 2, or 3. The text in Section 5 indicates a mix; clarifying this in the captions would improve reproducibility.
Circularity Check
Minor self-citation for template/theorems; central GM/GKV extension and passivity proof are independent content. However, Eq. (46c) dimension incompatibility makes the Models 3 passivity branch formally undefined (correctness risk, not circularity).
-
self citation load bearing
[Sect. 4.1, proofs of Theorems 4.1 and 4.2]
"Proof. The result follows along the same lines as the proof of Theorem 3.1 in [88]. ... Proof. The result follows along the same lines as the proof of Theorem 3.2 in [88]."
Well-posedness of the new Models 1 and 3 is delegated verbatim to the same author's prior paper [88], which is itself the subject of a companion submission. This is a citation of prior work by the same author for the template of existence/uniqueness, but the cited results concern FrBD1-KV and not the GM/GKV extension. The central novelty (arbitrary-order viscoelastic states) is not proven here; however, the step is not circular in the sense of the model equations reducing to the assumptions, since the cited theorems are external results with independent statement. It is a self-citation that is load-bearing for the form of the model, but the central passivity claim has its own proof.
-
self definitional
[Sect. 4.1, Eq. (46c), Theorem 4.2, Eq. (48)]
"˜Σφ(x, s) ≜ Σ(¯v(x, s), s) − HAφ2(s). ... the PDE (48) admits a unique mild solution ..."
In (46c), Σ(¯v,s) is M_{2(n+1)}, H is M_{2(n+1)×2}, and Aφ2(s) is M2, so HAφ2 is 2(n+1)×2, while Σ is square; the subtraction is dimensionally illegal and the PDE (48a) is not defined. This is not a circular reduction of the prediction to the inputs, but it is a self-definitional breakdown: the definition of the object that the theorem claims to analyze (˜Σφ) is inconsistent with the claimed existence result. If one repairs it with HAφ2P and P=[I2 0], the proof in Lemma 4.1 would still need a compensating term; as written, the 'resp. (48)' branch of Lemmata 4.1/4.2 asserts passivity of a PDE that is not well-formed.
full rationale
The central claim of the paper is the extension of the FrBD1-KV rolling model to GM and GKV bristle rheology, resulting in the 2(n+1)-state hyperbolic PDEs (26)-(29). The GM and GKV state equations (2), (8) are introduced as constitutive relations from the classical viscoelasticity literature, not derived from the target result. The derived ODE dynamics (17)-(19) follow from the implicit-function truncation Eq. (15)-(17) with stated assumptions, and the PDEs (43)-(45) are the Eulerian reformulations. The steady-state force-slip relationship (20) follows directly from Eq. (17), and no fitted parameter is renamed as a prediction: the model parameters are structural inputs (Table 1), and the simulations compare models rather than predicting data. The passivity proofs in Lemmata 4.1 and 4.2 are self-contained calculations using the storage functions (54) and (59), with the dissipation terms appearing from the GM/GKV branch structure; the final sign inequalities are genuine consequences rather than built-in assumptions. The main criticisms are not circularity in the sense of the instructions. First, Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 are proved by citing the author's own prior [88] ('along the same lines as the proof of Theorem 3.1 [3.2] in [88]'), which is a self-citation load-bearing for well-posedness but does not make the central claim reduce to the input; the cited result concerns a different (lower-order) model. Second, Eq. (46c) defines ˜Σφ = Σ − H Aφ2, which is dimensionally inconsistent (M_{2(n+1)×2} subtracted from M_{2(n+1)}), so the Models 3 PDE (48) and the corresponding passivity branch are formally not a defined object. This is a correctness problem and a subtle self-definitional breakdown, but it does not amount to the prediction being equivalent to the input by construction. A numerical or editorial correction (e.g., HAφ2P with P=[I2 0]) would be needed; the corrected statement would still be an independent claim. The paper also states explicitly that it repeats the main derivation steps of [88] 'for self-containment,' which supports the assessment that the core modeling framework is adapted from prior work, but the new GM/GKV content is independent. Overall score: 2, indicating minor self-citation that is load-bearing only for the well-posedness template and not for the central passivity result; the undefined ˜Σφ is flagged as a formal defect affecting the Models 3 branch but not a circularity of the kind stated by the scoring rubric.

This paper extends the distributed rolling contact FrBD framework to linear viscoelasticity by considering classic derivative Generalised Maxwell and Kelvin-Voigt rheological representations of the bristle element. With this modelling approach, the dynamics of the bristle, generated friction forces, and internal deformation states are described by a system of 2(n+1) hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs), which can capture complex relaxation phenomena originating from viscoelastic behaviours. By appropriately specifying the analytical expressions for the transport and rigid relative velocity, three distributed formulations of increasing complexity are introduced, which account for different levels of spin excitation. For the linear variants, well-posedness and passivity are analysed rigorously, showing that these properties hold for any physically meaningful parametrisation. Numerical experiments complement the theoretical results by illustrating steady-state characteristics and transient relaxation effects. The findings of this paper substantially advance the FrBD paradigm by enabling a unified and systematic treatment of linear viscoelasticity.
