Abstract

The North China Plain and the agricultural region are crossed by the Shanxi-Beijing natural gas pipeline. Residents in the area use rototillers for planting and harvesting; however, the depth of the rototillers into the ground is greater than the depth of the pipeline, posing a significant threat to the safe operation of the pipeline. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the dynamic response of rotary tillers impacting pipelines to ensure the safe operation of pipelines. This article focuses on the Shanxi-Beijing natural gas pipeline, utilizing finite element simulation software to establish a finite element model for the interaction among the machinery, pipeline, and soil, and analyzing the dynamic response of the pipeline. At the same time, a decision tree model is introduced to classify the damage of pipelines under different working conditions, and the boundary value and importance of each influencing factor on pipeline damage are derived. Considering the actual conditions in the hemp yam planting area, targeted management measures have been proposed to ensure the operational safety of the Shanxi-Beijing natural gas pipeline in this region.
