Dear Sebastian Rosier,

your manuscript was met with interest and has received positive evaluation by the two referees, who have provided constructive and detailed remarks about the ways to improve the paper. Based on this, I would like to invite you to submit a revised version of your study for further editorial considerations.

P.S.
In my opinion, the comment to p.23, l.7,8 by the 1st Referee about the Kelvin model, simply asks to mention -- for a sake of clarity -- that the Kelvin model is of limited use because it does not allow infinite strains.

Best regards,
Evgeny Podolskiy
