Calculation of the Collapsing Critical Load of a Translating Cam Mechanism and Roller Translating Follower Actuating an Elevator

The above-ground parking lot above Dâmbovița river has stemmed from the need to cover the lack of parking lots in Bucharest. The parking lot may be serviced, in case of emergency, by auxiliary elevators that are operated by mechanisms provided with translating cams and roller translating followers. In this paper, a calculation of the collapsing critical load shall be performed. One shall also analyze here the rod model and the model with several rods of the mechanism provided with a translating cam and roller translating follower. In order for the rods to resist collapsing, one must be found in the elastic field, thus verifying Euler’s formula.
