  Recently, in the paper "The Schwarz alternating method in solid mechanics" by
Alejandro Mota, Irina Tezaur and Coleman Alleman [Comput. Methods Appl. Mech.
Engrg. 319 (2017) 1951] the authors extended the well known Schwarz alternating
method from linear to finite-deformation solid mechanics. They developed and
introduced four variants of the Schwarz alternating method, presented proof of
geometric convergence of the method and prepared parallel implementation
applied to some examples. Unfortunately, the work contains serious errors, both
from the point of view of finite-deformation solid mechanics as well as
mathematical elasticity.
