Mechanical parking systems are widely used special electromechanical equipments. With the increasing interests on strength safety, it was becoming a hot spot to achieve its strength properties precisely. Based on Timoshenko beam theory, a mechanical parking system was simplified to a two dimensional model, and strength calculation was performed with analytical method. Furthermore, finite element method was adopted to calculate the strength properties of this mechanical parking system, and the maximum Von Mises and shear stress were approached. By comparison with experimental stress analysis, the finite element analysis was precise, which showed a potential application in practical engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
