ABS When thin brittle rods
such as dry spaghetti pasta
are bent beyond their limit
curvature, they often break
into more than two pieces,
typically three or four. JUST
ONE SENTENCE FOR
BACKGROUND With the
aim of understanding these
multiple breakings, we study
the dynamics of a bent rod
that is suddenly released at
one end.
INTRO The physical
process of fragmentation is
relevant to several areas of
science and technology.
Because different physical
phenomena are at work
during the fragmentation of
a solid body, it has mainly
been studied from a
statistical viewpoint [1–5].

Reviewer’s Advice
• Present the novelty of your approach and results in the context of what has already been done. Citing key papers without stating how specifically you build on them is insufficient.
• Describe, with at least a sentence, (1) what others have done, as far as relevant for the direction of your paper, and (2) how your contribution is original and distinguishes itself from previous work.
