Recently, ultra-lightweight materials with open, periodic cell structures take much attention owing to its potential for multi-functionality such as load bearing, thermal dissipation, and actuation. This paper presents experimental results on the hydraulic and heat transfer characteristics for the Wire-woven Bulk Kagome(WBK) composed of aluminum 1100 wires. The overall pressure drop and heat transfer of the WBK specimen have been experimentally investigated under forced air convection condition. The pressure loss and heat transfer performance of the aluminum WBK are compared with other heat dissipation media. It was shown that heat transfer depended on relative density and surface area density. Comparison with metal foams and other heat dissipation media such as packed beds, lattice frame materials, louvered fins, and other materials suggests that the aluminum WBK competes favorably with the best available heat dissipation media in heat transfer performance.

Recently, ultra-lightweight materials with open, periodic cell structures take much attention owing to its potential for multi-functionality such as load bearing, thermal dissipation, and actuation. This paper presents experimental results on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics for the Wire-woven Bulk Kagome (WBK) composed of aluminum 1100 wires. The overall pressure drop and heat transfer of the WBK specimen was experimentally investigated under forced air convection condition. The pressure loss and heat transfer performance of the aluminum WBK were compared with other heat dissipation media.

This paper reports the wear characteristics of two types of coating materials, which are $Cr_2O_3$ and $ZrO_2$, by coated plasma thermal spray method. The wear test was carried out under air, grease, and bearing fluid conditions. The wear testing machine of a pin-on disk type were used to measure friction forces, friction coefficients and the weight losses of the coating specimens on the various sliding velocity and loading condition. The wear surface of specimens were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs.

In silicon wafer manufacturing process, the grinding process has been adopted to improve the quality of wafer such as flatness, roughness and so on. This paper describes the effect of grinding process on the surface quality of wafer. The experiments are carried out by high precision in fred grinder with air bearing spindle. The relationship between the inclination of chuck table and the flatness of wafer is investigated, and the effect of grinding conditions including wheel speed, table speed, and feed rate on damage depth and roughness of wafer is also investigated. The experimental results show that there is close relationship between the inclination of the chuck table and the flatness of wafer, and the grinding conditions within this paper little affect the flatness of wafer and relatively high affect the damage depth of wafer.

Finite Element Method for 3-D static loaded passenger car tire on the rigid surface is performed for studying the stiffness of tire to compare with experimental data. The tire elements used for FEM are defined each component to allow an easy change for the design parameters. Also, a hyperelastic material which is composed of tread and sidewall has been used to consider a large deformation of rubber components. The orthotropic characters of rubber-cord composite materials are used as well. The air pressure, a vertical and a lateral load are applied step by step and iterated by Modified Newton method for geometric and boundary condition nonlinear simulation. This study shows nonlinear analysis method for tire and the bearing capacity of tire due to the external force.

A new type slider with optical components is going to be introduced on market for portalbe and high capacity disk drive, and it will show a great potential for high performance drive in the paper the dynamic behavior and static characteristics of silder for a small form factor optical disk drive have been investigated numerically by an in-house simulation code using FEM. A curvature effect is found when a slider is applied to a relatively small disk, which makes rolling characteristics worse due to the negative pressured generated at the air bearing surface because of the curvature of small disk diameter.

The flying height of contact slider is determined by vertical and pitching motions of slider. This paper performed the computer simulation for flying height change of contact slider. It is changed by many parameters, contact stiffness, contact damping, air bearing stiffness ratio, a location of mass center, and so on. Computer simulation is performed for knowing for what change of these parameters influences in flying height of contact slider. Disk surface is modeled in harmonic wave with from 10㎑ to 600㎑. Tri-pad slider is modeled in that contact slider has 2-DOF motion (vertical motion, pitching motion). Tri-pad contact slider is analyzed by numerical analysis method in computer simulation.

The elemental composition of electro-deposited black Cr solar selective coatings before and after heating in air by using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was investigated for optical property analysis. In addition, black Cr selective coating exposed by solar radiation for 5 months was compared with heated sample. SIMS investigation shows that $OH^+$ bearing ions were related to a near surface region of CrOH and CrO compound. The optical degradation of this coating after heating at $500^{\circ}C$ reveals that diffusion of the Cu and Ni elements in substrate material, the chemical interactions adjacent to the interface, and the interface width broadening.

It is essential to reduce stiction between the slider and the disk for super-smooth media such as glass disk for high density recording. We developed a stiction-reduced slider by fabricating mechanical bumps on the air bearing surface of the slider by indentation technique. This paper presents a possibility and concept of Stiction-Free-Slider which can operate on the data zone of a magnetic disk. The slider hat many bumps and their heights are in the tens of nm range. The SFS shows good performance on the data zone. Moreover, little wear of the bumps was observed when the preload was small.

Particle contamination has been an ongoing problem affecting the reliability of the magnetic hard disk drives. Especially the recent use of MR head requires much tighter control of particle contamination due to thermal asperity (TA) phenomenon. In this study, the effects of slider air bearing surface design of TA reduction capability were investigated by manufacturing two types of sliders. Numerical methods were used to simulate the motion of particles in the head/media interface. Experiments were conducted to verify the results predicted by the numerical simulation. Drives were built and exposed to particle contamination using a particle injection chamber, which turned out to be a very simple and reliable particle generation method over conventional aerosol technique. Then the number of TA generated in the drives was recorded and compared. Also the contacts between slider and particles were investigated by acoustic emission study. It was found that a new ABS design, which has aerodynamic U-shaped rail and central flow passage, was beneficial in reducing the particle contamination on the slider.
