Simulation Study of Ultrasonic Elliptical Vibration Cutting of TiC Particle-Reinforced Titanium Matrix Composites

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

r.105-106        In the text you describe the principle of technology. Is it your description based on experience or based on literature study. Cite one literature (16) in the text.

You assume the spherical shape of the absorbing layer of material. How would you explain it?

r.140               What is the ontological model ?

r.175               In this row is stated : orthogonal cutting model ?

                       I recommend correcting the terminology in the content of the                           text

r.216              Change in the text 10-3 (10^-3)                    

r.167              D1、D2、D3、D4、D5      Correct for commas

r.129-131       Based on what did you design the simulation parameters?

r.334-335       In conclusion you state as „a result of variable speed cutting action“. Since you did not change the speed during the simulation (this is evident from the content of the article), how would you explain this statement?

I recommend adding some current work to the simulation in the ABAQUS program

After editing, I recommend sending answers. Overall, the article will be published in the journal.

Reviewer 2 Report

What was the dimension of the particles in this study? What will be the impact of particle size and shape. It wasn't discussed.

The limitations of the model and any future directions planned should be included in the manuscript since there are scopes of improvement.

Conclusion needs to be improved.
