Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The present work investigates the nonlinear coupling mechanism of suspended cables

in thermal environments. the subject is interesting and the manuscript is well-written, however, some modifications are needed. In my opinion, the present work can be published after some minor revisions.

-          In the abstract, Keywords should start with capital letters

-          The literature review should be improved by recent publications.

-          Some of the obtained data should be given in the abstract.

-          Is the temperature varies continuously?

-          The explanation of parameters in Table 1, should be started with capital letters.

The manuscript is well-written, however needs some minor editing of english.

We believe that the updated manuscript now provides a more comprehensive and insightful analysis of the research area.

Comments: If possible, try comparing your results with the available literature.

Responses: We appreciate your suggestion regarding the comparison of our results with the available literature. However, upon careful review, we found that there are no existing studies with comparable computational results and literature available in our research area. Therefore, we have added a numerical integration method to ensure the accuracy of our computational results. The revised manuscript provides a detailed description of the numerical integration method used, and the results obtained from this method have been compared to our previous results to demonstrate the correctness of our calculations. We believe that this approach ensures the reliability and accuracy of our results.

Comments: Add a nomenclature.

Responses: We appreciate your suggestion regarding the addition of a nomenclature. In the revised version of the manuscript, we have not added a nomenclature section that includes a comprehensive list of all symbols and abbreviations used in the paper. All the parameters have been defined and illustrated very clearly as well as their units of measurement.

Comments: Highlight the advantages of the obtained results in the domain at the end of the conclusion section.

Responses: We appreciate your suggestion regarding the need to highlight the advantages of the obtained results in the domain at the end of the conclusion section. In the revised version of the manuscript, we have added a section to the conclusion that highlights specifically the advantages and contributions of the research results presented in the paper. We have emphasized how our findings add value to the existing literature and how they can be utilized in practical applications. We believe that the updated conclusion section now provides a more comprehensive and insightful analysis of the research area.
