Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Section 2.1 CDM Model for ULC contain similar information as in reference 29 published by the same authors, which are not necessary to repeat.

Section 2.4., where unnecessary repetition of information from reference 29 is encountered again.

The same goes to section 4. ULCF Life Prediction for the Q345qC Base Material and Weld Joints, with two exceptions, namely subsubsections 4.2.3. Fatigue Life Prediction Based on the CVGM, and 4.2.4. Comparison of Two Fatigue Life Prediction Methods, where authors actually present something new and unpublished!

Based on the abovementioned, authors should accordingly modify the Abstract and Conclusions, by omitting the unnecessary repeated information!

Reviewer 2 Report

This paper is entitled: Study on the prediction method of the ultra-low-cycle  fatigue damage of steel.

The authors use two models: CVGM and CDM to predict the ultra-low cycle fatigue (ULCF) damage of steel and its weld joints.

The main problem is with the added value of this paper. This because the two models are well known and the paper was written in a way that makes difficult to understand what is new.

I suggest to better highlight, already in the abstract and then through the text, the novelty of this paper. The authors should more clearly explain what has been already done and is available in literature and what is new in their paper. Practically, it is important to understand what is the real contribution of this paper.

Reviewer 1 Report

Required changes and corrections were applied. Some content was kept, for the sake of completeness.

Abstract and  Conclusions sections were accordingly modified.

English language and style of the added text should be checked.
