“…They have also analyzed the influence of rockfall parameters (impact velocity, radius, eccentric distance), pipeline parameters (internal pressure, wall thickness, diameter, buried depth), and location on the pipeline. For instance, Zhang et al used numerical simulation methods to investigate the buckling behavior of pipelines under the impact of square [17] and spherical [18] rockfalls, and explored the influence of pipeline and rockfall parameters on the stress and plastic strain of buried pipelines. A three-dimensional finite element model of a buried pipeline under the impact of a rockfall was established by Xiong et al [19], and the effects of the rockfall's scale, suspended height, and falling point on pipeline safety were studied.…”
