Abstract: This paper discusses the effect of varying the suspension load dimple location on the shock robustness of small form factor hard disk drives. We use the CML shock simulator, which simulates the structural as well as the ...

Abstract: A new, localadaptive, gridgenerating algorithm is developed and integrated with the multigrid control volume method to simulate the steady flying state of the air bearing sliders in hard disk drives (HDDs) accurately and ...

Abstract: The work performance of a hard disk drive (HDD) in mobile devices depends very much on its ability to withstand external disturbances. In this study, a detailed multibody structural model integrated with a complete air ...

Abstract: Planck's law describes thermal radiation into vacuum from a black body in thermal equilibrium. This law can be easily adapted to describe radiation into a transparent medium with a constant refractive index, and it admits ...
