Concerning the development of portable optical disk products, higher impact resistant of the optical pick-up is required. Conventionally, cut and try measures, mainly based on experiment were applied to these problems, and it took much time and cost.
Therefore, we developed this drop impact analysis of the optical pick-up based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) and clarified the failure mechanism of the suspension wire breaking with drop impact. With this analysis method, we also developed a new optical pick-up with a curved suspension wire, and realized much higher impact resistance.
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.
