Abstract: A numerical simulation of slider-disk contact in a magnetic hard disk drive is studied using the Hertzian contact model. The slider-disk contact is caused by flying height fluctuation due to ...

Abstract: A numerical scheme based on the finite difference technique is developed to simulate the steady-state flying conditions and dynamic responses of subambient pressure sliders with shaped rails. In ...

Abstract: In the design of a magnetic recording disk file, pitch moment exerted by the flexure on the slider is usually treated as a product of flexure pitch static attitude and pitch-stiffness (kp), ...
