Abstract:This paper describes a method of simulating the operational shock (op-shock) response of hard disk drives (HDDs) and its application to improving the op-shock robustness of HDDs. This flexible multibody dynamics simulation model is based on component-mode synthesis of three components; a rotating part including rotating disks and the hub/shaft of the spindle motor, a stationary part including base plate, top cover, and other major stationary parts, and an actuator part representing the moving parts of the head… Show more
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.
