Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript can be accepted by addressing the following comments.

1) Please rewrite the abstract and add some quantitative findings.

2) The motivation of the study is not clear.

3) Why the torque on the load drum shaft change suddenly by changing the hoisting weight?

4) There are numerous grammatical errors in the manuscript.

Reviewer 3 Report

The authors have developed dynamic analytical model to investigate fractures observed in drum shaft of casting bridge crane. The proposed methodology is sound and the model predicts the trends observed, reasonably well. Further calibration of dynamic model and accounting for assumptions will improve the model capability.

The paper is organized properly and well written. However, it is suggested to proof-read the paper to eliminate minor typos, for example, line 199, subsection 3.2 'Test Ssystem Setup'. In addition, all the images need to be enlarged for better clarity.

Can authors comment about simulating this problem using finite element analysis? What are the challenges involved and why finite element analysis wasn't conducted to investigate these failures?

Finally, the scope of the paper seems to be more aligned with MDPI Machines journal instead of MDPI Electronics journal.
