Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The author has discussed about failure mode of metal-composite joint under compressive load. 

Thsi manuscript can be classified as an well-made research paper, and also contains high-degree of the practical scientific contribution in this research fields, especially damage & failure prediction diagram for joint which the athuor has proposed.

Reviewer 2 Report

In this paper, failure analysis of L-shape metal/composite is studied. The structure is under the compressive load. This paper has a good topic but need to below revisions:

 

1-The failure analysis is studied but the damage factor for the structure has not been reported. This factor using a theory such as Hook-Brown or other models should be added to the revised paper.

2-The boundary conditions of L-shape structure should be clarified and its effect should be studied on the results.

3-The introduction section has not a good relation between sub-sections. hence, should be modified.

4-The interaction of metal and composite is essential to study.

5-From the physical side, the results need to modification.

6-Some abbriviations should be defined such as VARI and etc
