Structural Analysis of Oil-Spill Boom Grounding at Low Tide^†

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This article focuses on an interesting topic and conducts research using geometrically non-linear elas- 9  tic finite elements and a 2D vertical hydrostatic pressure estimation . However, overall, the article still needs further improvement. Specific comments are as follows:

1. It is recommended that supplementary verification work be carried out to prove the validity of the numerical simulation work.
2.  The abstract does not describe the research methods used in this paper in sufficient detail.
3. Without a detailed review of similar domestic and international studies, it is difficult to discern the innovative aspects of this paper.
4. In 2.1, the source of the formula is not given. Whether it is quoted from the literature or derived, it should be specified in the article.
5. The simulation results are rather limited, and a more detailed analysis is recommended.
6. There are few recent references in the bibliography. Please add more.
