The Results of Experimental Studies of the Physical and Mechanical Properties of an Elastic-Plastic Material for Tribological Properties during Separation
, Nikolay Sazonov and Maria Godyaeva
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
In this paper ,a methodology and algorithm for performing actions to study the effect of tubers injury when interacting with a cleaning device, as well as to assess the effect of the separation process on the tribological properties of soil clod has been studied,.The research fall in the scope of the journal.
1.More deep analysis is needed to the introductoin part, there are just very less papers have been cited. The authors are asked to explain its main idea.
2.Some figures are need to add some notes to explain the main parts, the figure 2 has a poor quality, a new figure has to be added to replace it. for figure 3, each subfigure should have their own horizontal and vertical coordinates. For figure 7 & 8, the fitted should not be appeared in the figure.The tables also have to revise according to the journal standar. the figure 9 also should have to revise to avoid overlapping.
3. 1600...1700 should be 1600-1700? others like 1300...1400, 22...24% also have to revise.
4.More journal referecnes have to cite.
5.The title of paper is too long.
