Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The submitted study is reviewed carefully.
1) The reviewer is very disappointed by al the weaknesses of this paper and strongly suggests to the authors to greatly improve the scientific content of a possible next paper on this topic, both on the definition of the model, and the numerical / mechanical content of the results. Such as:
10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2022.106840

10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2022.106975

Also, the following comments are needed to be addressed to improve this paper:
2) In the introduction section, not only to tell the readers who has done what, the authors also should tell the readers what the differences are between your work and the published literatures. .
3) The theoretical contributes and tools described in the paper are not new. The mathematical model was not developed by the author; it contains equations from the literature. Nevertheless, the author does not mention the source of the equations presented.
4) The author should spend more time preparing the graphs presented. None of the diagrams have sufficient labeling
5) Some conclusions cannot give some results and explanation. So, the conclusions should be rewritten and simplified.
6) References are not up-to-date and adequate in the original manuscript, you should revise this part.
7) There are still grammar errors and typos in the text and they should be corrected by an author who is native English or has better writing skills.
