The filamentary motion itself is presumably responsible for triggering the thermal instability in the peak regime. Even when the instability is suppressed by enhanced heat transfer from the sample, the filamentary motion may still persist.

Note that while the dynamic melting line in the former succeeds in reproducing the plastic-to-elastic crossover line in Ref. [12], it does not reproduce the peak effect in the critical current in Ref. [12].
