A practical implementation method of squeeze-film aeroelastic disk vibration damping and its practical design performance are presented to provide a solution method to meet the tight TMR(Track Mis-Registration) design budget of high-TPI HDDs. Most previous research results are mainly based on the component-level study in the 'open-cover state' which is far from the realistic operations HDD condition. (omitted)

This paper presents a finite element method to analyze the free and forced vibration of a hard disk drive (HDD) considering the flexibility of a spinning disk-spindle with fluid dynamic bearings (FDBs), an actuator with pivot bearings, an air bearing between head-disk interface and the base with complicated geometry. Finite element equation of each component is consistently derived with the satisfaction of the geometric compatibility of the internal boundary between each component. The spinning disk, hub and FDBs are modeled by annular sector elements, beam elements and stiffness and damping elements, respectively. The actuator am, E-block, suspension and base plate are modeled by tetrahedral elements. The pivot bearing in the actuator and the air bearing between head-disk interfaces are modeled by the stiffness element with five degrees of freedom and the axial stiffness, respectively. A global matrix equation obtained by assembling the finite element equations of each substructure is transformed to a state-space matrix-vector equation, and both damped natural frequencies and modal damping ratios are calculated by solving the associated eigenvalue problem with the restarted Arnoldi iteration method. Modal and shock testing are performed to show that the proposed method well predicts the vibration characteristics of a HDD.

This paper performs the motion analysis for a disk cam and a follower mechanism using a circular arc method, a coordinate transformation method and an instant velocity method in order to find a contact point between the cam and the follower. Based on the proposed method, the displacement and the velocity are calculated by using the geometric relationships of the cam mechanism. Also, the acceleration is determined on using the central difference method. As the results, this paper presents the original curve and the analyzed curve for the motion analysis of the disk cam for an example.

In this paper, a pole assignment problem in the unit disk for a linear discrete system is discussed. The analysis is based on the Luenberger's canonical form and Gershgorin's disk. The proposed method for pole assignment is convenient for a linear time invariant discrete system.

Video On Demand servers generally require massive disk storages for storing many video data. Many researches have been done on the topics of efficient allocation of movies in disks. This paper, We describe efficient disk placement techniques and implement storage system with SCSI and PCI Bus interface for efficient data handling. This paper also proposes a logical zone reconstruction method for the SCAN data placement technique. The proposed method reconstructs physical zones into logical zones by split and merge operations.

A model testing method to monitor modal characteristics of a rotating disk, such as the mode and its motion relative to the disk, is presented in this paper. It is shown through measurements that this method can be applied to monitor the vibration characteristics of a rotating disk under operating conditions.

The head to disk spacing must be decreased to increase recording densities in hard disk drives. Recently, to decrease the head to disk spacing, smooth disk having no bumps onto the lading zone has used. In this research, we compared the number of particles generated in HDD with smooth and textured disks. We used a sampling method using a particle sampler and a CPC (condensation particle counter) to detect particles in HDD. First, we sampled and counted panicles generated with disk rotational speed and various rest times when the smooth disk and textured disks were used, then analyzed the sampled particles by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and AES (auger electron spectroscopy). In results of measuring particles, more particles in case of LZT disk drive generated than that of the smooth disk drive in all test modes. The number of particles generated in the smooth disk was very low. The particle generation increased as the rest time increased (smooth/LZT disks) and more particles in case of LZT disk drive generated than that of the smooth disk drive. In results of analyzing particle components, Al, Ti, Si components were detected and we could not found differences between components in case of smooth/LZT disk drive.

Filament Winding Process is a comparatively simple operation in which continuous reinforcements in the form of roving are wound over a rotating mandrel. It is well established and versatile method for storage tanks and pipes for the chemical and other industries. In this study, tensile strength of a filament wound ring specimens were evaluated by a split disk test fixture and a dress disk test fixture. The results obtained from experiments were compared with the theoretical values from the rule of mixtures. The purpose of this paper is the suggestion of an appropriate test method for the evaluation of tensile properties of filament wound structures. The tensile strength of a ring specimen tested by the dress disk test showed better agreement with the theoretical values than those tested by the split disk test because of higher stress concentration in edges of a split disk test fixture. The results showed that the tensile strength of a ring specimen was influenced by the geometry of test fixture, the continuity of fibers, fiber-tension, fiber-end and stress concentration in specimen.
