The Influence of Fatigue Loading on the Durability of the Conveyor Belt
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Abstract,
The sentence “Based on ob-20 tained results, appropriate conclusions were made” is too general. Include relevant results in the abstract.
Keywords, I’m not sure working life is a correct translation. You can use Duration of use, Service life, product lifetime.
“The most common combination used is polyester-nylon “ Provide citation.
“which is most commonly used for weft threads, polyester, which is 71 most commonly used for warp threads “ this information has been already written in line 46.
In equation 1 R_MIN reads as R_MN
“Stress boundary limits σMIN and σMAX are defined with algebraic signs”. Please revise the sentence, I do not understand the context or the meaning.
Usually I define the loads in N instead of kg.
Table 1. D o the authors know the standard deviations for the values?
Figure 6. The cutting zone can be critical here. Have the authors revised the damage caused during specimen cutting?
In table 2 the standard deviation is referred to the average n of cycles?
More detail on the element used to perform the FEM, refining, size… loads, restrictions and were are applied is needed,
