✦ Synopsis
I appreciate the paper and results, but cannot agree with the authors that the results are basically different than those which I obtained many years ago and which were published in references 5,6, and 7. I have found that the values of strain in the central part of a compressed specimen were a bit higher than those close to the external surface. The same relation is visible in Fig. 4 of this paper and that observation is expressed in the last line of page 646.
