Reviewer 2 Report
1. In the abstract, the numerical values ​​of the shape of corn seeds, sound waveform, friction coefficient and collision recovery coefficient should be indicated.
2. The word "static friction coefficient" should be added to the key words.
3. In Introduction: Paragraph 1 provides information on corn and Paragraph 2 provides information on EDEM programs. There is no connection between paragraph 1 and paragraph 2. It is necessary to ensure that they are interconnected.
4. In 2. Materials and Methods, we can see the result information of “The average moisture content of the three groups of corn seeds was 11.7%” in 2.1.1. Density and Moisture Content of Corn Seeds part and the result information of “The shear modulus of corn seed is 1.36×108 Pa” in 2.1.2. Determination of Poisson’s Ratio and Shear Modulus part. They should be moved to 3. Results and Discussion.
5. You can see similar cases in 2.1.3. Determination of Characteristic Dimensions of Corn Seeds, 2.2. Determination of Static and Rolling Friction Coefficient of Corn Seeds, 2.3. Determination of Collision Recovery Coefficient of Corn Seeds.
6. 3. Results and Discussion 3.2.1. Plane Collision Test and 3.2.2. Repose Angle Test sections contain information on experimental methods. They should be moved to 2. Materials and Methods.
Author Response
