Abstract

This paper focuses on the mechanical structure design of amusement rides, elucidating the application of fundamental theories such as statics and fatigue strength analysis. It introduces special requirements like impact and alternating stress, explores methods for structural safety assessment and their limitations. The paper also covers principles for selecting indicators, the construction of a grading evaluation system, and the application of various materials and technologies in amusement rides, emphasizing the importance of structural safety and future development directions.
