Audit review
The paper’s conclusions (force/velocity/diameter orderings, thresholds, and ≤6% agreement) are empirically and simulation-backed but not proven as theorems or given with a priori error bounds. The model’s solution mirrors those trends but relies on undeclared sharing/geometry factors and an unsupported stability constant to claim a ≤6% uniform error bound; it also mixes time and thickness in the skin-depth term. Thus, while the qualitative agreements are sound, both the paper and the model lack complete, rigorous derivations.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} A carefully executed coupled EM–mechanical FE study with experimental validation supports clear, practice-relevant conclusions about punch geometry, number of holes, and energy levels in EMFP of tubes. The work is solid and will be useful to practitioners. Minor clarifications are needed around assumptions (skin depth, averaging) and uncertainty reporting.
