The main conclusions from the results of the calculation of the design of the amusement park "Funny pinwheels" in accordance with the requirements of GOST R 52170-2003 in the APM Civil Engineering program

According to the results of the calculation of the structure of the attraction, the following conclusions can be made:

1. The developed finite element model, within the framework of the accepted assumptions, describes the attraction configuration, the geometric parameters and the elastic properties of the elements, the imposed external and internal geometric connections of the system, and the loading conditions.

2. The calculations were performed in full, taking into account possible adverse combinations of loads, with sufficient accuracy to obtain estimates of the strength and stiffness of the product.

3. The stress state of the carrier system of an attraction is characterized by the presence of concentrations of equivalent voltages, the occurrence of which is associated with the presence in the design models of the attraction of geometric and “model” concentrators, creating in their vicinity features of the stress state. In the calculated states of the attraction, the magnitude of the equivalent stresses does not exceed the level of the design resistance of the structural material, and accordingly, the necessary strength is ensured.

4. It has been established that under the action of design loads in all cases of loading, the rigidity of the developed structural form of the attraction is ensured. The resulting movement of the elements of the attraction does not exceed the allowable.

5. When analyzing the deformed state of the system, it is determined that the shape of the product is resistant to the actual loads.

6. The performed calculation on the stability of the position of the attraction design has shown that the design is resistant to tipping and shifting.

7. Verification of structural elements showed that all the coefficients of the health of the main elements of the attraction do not exceed the value of the unit and meet the requirements of GOST R 52170-2003 for the design of the attraction.

8. The fatigue strength of the main metalwork of the attraction is provided.
