Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1- The authors should reinforce the introduction of this article with new references in this area such as:

  • Improvement of the vibratory diagnostic method by evolution of the piezoelectric sensor performances
  • Modeling and enhancement of piezoelectric accelerometer relative sensitivity

2- Illustrate the purpose of this work in introduction

 3- Correct spelling mistakes

                                                                                 

Author Response

Dear Reviewer,

thank you very much for your remarks. We tried to implement your suggestions as follows:

1- We added the following paragraph to the introduction (line 52-56):

"Using single-fibre piezocomposite instead of monolithic ceramics offers several advantages. Besides higher electro-mechanical coupling and lower acoustic impedance [11,12], the fibres can be arbitrary placed in the composite [13]. In addition, the round shape offers superior acoustic emission characteristics for our unfocused imaging approach [10].

To integrate the new transducers, a new assembly process is needed. This work presents a transducer array manufacturing process which encompasses adhesive layer printing, automated pick and place as well as etching techniques."

2- We tried to sharpen the workflow in the abstract and  introduction to:

Background ->Transducer requirements -> Transducer design -> Controlled manufacturing approach

3- We revised the article to correct wrong spelling, singular/plural errors as well as capitalisation.

Best regards

Reviewer 2 Report

This seems like an interesting and useful modelling-led technique to improve process monitoring during piezo array fabrication.

Author Response

Dear Reviewer,

thank you for the positive reply. Attached you find a slightly updated version of the paper. In the introduction, we added a paragraph to introduce the used piezocomposites in more detail (line 52-56). In addition, we made several small corrections mainly in the abstract and the introduction.

With best regards
