Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper looks rather interesting for readers and well structured. However there are some comments.

The phrase "Ships are larger than regular building structures" is rather controversial. What does this mean dS0 / dS0 (in Equation 1)? It is necessary to check the spelling and endings of some words, some words are missed. It would be good to see more recent sources of information (there are only two recent papers written by the same authors, but other sources are from the past; are there any other investigations in this field?).

Reviewer 2 Report

The topic is of interest, anyway the paper looks very weak in its scientific form.

English must be completely revised.

Most of the figures are not described in the text (i.e. figures 1 to 5). The state of the art is not sufficiently described.

The FE model is not described in detail, so all the results are subjective and questionable. i.e. How were material properties considered? Meshe size? etc.. 

It is not clear what authors mean for “deformation” in the experimental analysis, maybe “strain” or “curvature”? How was it calculated?

Results are not clearly presented and discussed.

Please consider resubmitting describing in detail the used methods and analysis and discussing the results.

Reviewer 3 Report

Equation 1 must be changed to (dS2-dS0)/dS0 Equation 3 must be improved, specially the limits of integration Figure 12: Each graph sould be associated with the different experimental models of figure 10

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

Scale of figure 4 and 5 should be resized.

Figure 12 should be commented more in detail. Please resize the scale of the coordinate axis.
