Abstract: Under proper working conditions, a ball-type automatic balancer can effectively reduce the imbalance vibrations of an optical disk drive. The proper working conditions can be determined by a ...

Abstract: Equations of rigid-body mechanics provide a means to predict the post-collision behavior without recourse to highly complex, detailed analysis of deformations during contact. Before the prediction ...

Abstract: Ball-type automatic balancers can effectively reduce the vibrations of optical disk drives due to the inherent imbalance of the disk. Although the ball-type automatic balancer used in practice ...

Abstract: The traditional ball-type automatic balancer consisting of several balls moving on a circular orbit is widely used in the optical disk drive industry for vibration reduction. Under proper working ...

Abstract: Optimization is an efficient tool for developing designs of slider air bearings that meet the strict performance demands of current hard disk drives. Previous studies in this field concentrated ...
