A new bearing concept, the wave journal bearing, has been developed to improve the steady and dynamic performance of a hydrodynamic journal bearing. This concept features a wave in inner bearing surface. Not only straight but also twisted wave journal bearing are investigated numerically. The performances of straight and twisted bearings are compared to a plain journal bearing over a relatively wide range of eccentricity. The bearing load and stability characteristics are dependent on the geometric parameters such as the number of waves, the amplitude and the starting point of the wave relative to the applied load. The wave journal bearing, especially for the twisted one, offers better stability than the plain journal bearing under all eccentricity and all wave to load orientation.

The fundamental fluid mechanics associated with the rotation of a smooth plane disk enclosed within a cylindrical chamber have been studied experimentally. In order to acquire systematic information pertinent to this problem torque and friction loss data were obtained over a wide range of disk Reynolds numbers for axial clearance-disk radius ratio H/R from 0.025 to 0.2 and radial tip gap-disk radius ratio s/R from 0.021 to 0.105. Loss analysis of hard disk drive (HDD) is presented to describe the contribution of windage loss of a rotating disk. The minimum loss form factor of HDD can be obtained from this analysis at each operation conditions.

Purpose： To evaluate the physiologic background of poorly visualized aneurysms during DSA a contrast-enhanced MRA(CEMRA) due to hemodynamical isolation on clinical and experiment data. Method： Two cases of intracranial aneurysm which were poorly visualized on DSA a CEMRA and one case of intracranial aneurysm which had poor turnover of contrast mediu during DSA were selected for this clinical study. We evaluated the turnover of blood in t terminal aneurysm of handmade elastic silicon phantoms for comparative experiment. Flo experiments with DSA and contrast enhanced MRA were performed in elastic phantoms aneurysm with 3 different diameters (2, 5 and 10 mm) of neck mimicking basilar ti aneurysm, attached to pulsatile pump similar to that of human physiologic parameters. W compared the results with those of computational flow dynamics(CFD).

임계온도가 액체질소의 비등점(77K)보다 높은 산화물 고온 초전도체가 발견된 이후 초전도체를 여러분야에 응용하고자 하는 연구가 있어왔다. 이러한 연구중 초전도체의 자기부상특성을 이용한 마그네틱 베어링에 관한 연구가 시작되었다. 특히 최근에 임계전류밀도가 높은 덩어리형 고온 초전도체가 개발되어, 큰 부하지지력을 갖고 마찰계수가 작은 초전도 마그네틱 베어링이 가능하게 되었다. 고온 초전도체를 사용한 반발식 수동형 마그네틱 베어링은 마이스너 효과(Meissner effect)뿐 아니라 자속고정효과(Flux pinning effect)에 의해 자체적으로 외란에 대한 위치안정성을 가지며, 히스테리시스 손실에 의한 에너지 소산을 통해 외란에 대해 강한 감쇠능력을 가진다는 장점을 가지고 있으며, 대중량을 지지할 수 있다. 이러한 초전도체의 특성에 관한 정량적 수치해석은 초전도 베어링의 설계에 필수적이나 아직 국내에서는 그러한 시도가 없었다. 이러한 여건을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 Bulk형 초전도체와 자석간의 부상력 변화를 축대칭 모델로 수치해석하여 기존의 실험들과 정량적인 비교를 하여 수치해석 코드의 신뢰성을 확보하고 이를 기반으로 다양한 상황을 예측할 수 있음을 보이고자 한다.

초전도체를 기계요소중 하나인 베어링에 응용하기 위한 연구는 임계온도가 액체질소의 비등점(77K)보다 높은 산화물 고온 초전도체가 발견된 이후 시작되었으며, 특히 최근에는 $10^4A/cm^2$이상의 임계전류밀도를 갖는 덩어리형 고온 초전도체가 용융공정을 통해 개발되어, 큰 부하지지력을 갖고 10$^{-8}$ 이하의 마찰계수를 갖는 초전도 마그네틱 베어링으로서 플라이휠 같은 에너지 저장장치에 적용시키는 연구가 국내외적으로 진행되고 있다. 고온 초전도체를 사용한 반발식 수동형 미그네틱 베어링은 Meissner effect뿐 아니라 Fluxpinning effect에 의해 자체적으로 외란에 대한 위치안정성을 가지며, 히스테리시스 손실에 의한 에너지 소산을 통해 외란에 대해 강한 감쇠능력을 가진다는 장점을 가지고 있으며, 대중량을 지지할 수 있다. 이러한 초전도체의 특성에 관한 정량적 수치해석은 초전도 베어링의 설계에 필수적이나 아직 국내에서는 그러한 시도가 없었다. 이러한 여건을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 초전도체와 자석간의 부상력 변화를 2차원 Slab모델로 수치해석하여 히스테리시스라는 주요한 특성을 고찰하고자 한다.

A new bearing concept, the wave journal bearing, has been developed to improve the static and dynamic performances of an air-lubricated hydrodynamic journal bearing. This concept features waves on bearing surface. In this study, we present the solution of the compressible Reynolds equation valid for arbitrary Knudsen numbers. Straight wave journal bearing is investigated numerically. The performances of straight wave bearing are compared to the plain journal bearing over relatively wide range of bearing number and eccentricity. The wave journal bearing offers better stability than the plain journal bearing under all bearing numbers covered in this study. The bearing load and stability characteristics are dependent on the geometric parameters such as the amplitude and the starting point of the wave relative to the applied load. Under the condition of Knudsen number＞0.01, we can not ignore the effect of slip for Journal bearing.

Dynamic L/UL system has many merits, but it can develop an undesirable collision during dynamic loading process. In this paper, the dynamics of negative pressure pico slider during the loading process was investigated by numerical simulation. A simplified L/UL model for the suspension system was presented, and a simulation code was built to analyze the motion of the slider. A slider deigns have been simulated at various disk rotating speeds, skew angles of slider. By selection an optimal RPM and pre-skew angle, we can decrease the amount of collision and smoothen the loading process for a given slider-suspension design.

Recently, the recording density of hard disk drives has improved at an annual percentage rate of 100%. Therefore for faster access, higher disk rotational speeds will be required. The influence of the airflow produced by the rotation of a disk on the positioning accuracy has become a serious topic of research and the aerodynamic aspect of hard disk drives is now quite considerable with the increases in recording density and higher rotational speeds. Unsteady airflow in an actual hard disk drive is numerically simulated by using LES(Large Eddy Simulation) technique, we could predicted and aerodynamic mechanism that was related actuators' surroundings in HDD. At a result, with modifying the various shapes of the E-block and Damper, we estimated the characteristic of the influence of airflow in HDDs.

With the increase in recording density and higher rotation speeds, the aerodynamic aspect of hard disk drives (HDDs) is now quite significant. To achieve high TPI (tracks per inch) for hard disk drives, the actuator must induce less air turbulence. Also, alternative cross sections for the actuator arms are proposed for the reduction of air turbulence. In this study, off-track vibration of actuator arms used in of 3.5" hard disk drives with different cross sections have been measured by using Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV). It has been found that the vibration of the actuator arms with modified cross sections is lower than the conventional one.

In this paper, we investigated the disc warping in high-speed slim-type optical disc drive. Recently, the information storage devices are increasing track density and higher rotation speed to enhance their recording capacity and their data transfer rate. Generally, ODD used in the Lap-top Computer has small inner space. So, the flow instability of inner space is rapidly increased as its higher rotation speed. An extreme case, the flow instability causes the malfunction of readout at pick-up of drives. The experiments and numerical analysis were carried out for several cases, the result shows the influence of airflow to the disc warping.
