Abstract: We numerically analyzed the bouncing vibrations of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) model of a tri-pad contact slider with air bearing pads over a random wavy surface and manifested the design ...

Abstract: We numerically investigated contact characteristics of a contact pad with a rough disk surface and the possibility of contact/near-contact sliders, using a single-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) slider ...

Abstract: In this paper, the design condition of a single-degree-of-freedom (1DOF) contact slider over a random wavy surface of a disk is analyzed statistically. It is numerically confirmed that when the ...

Abstract: We numerically investigated the tracking ability, the dynamic contact and friction forces of a 2-DOF model of a tripad slider over a random wavy disk surface with 1 nm rms value in the ...

Abstract: This paper describes optimum air-bearing design of a tri-pad slider in terms of tracking ability to micro-waviness based on theoretical analysis of the two-degree-of-freedom slider model and the ...

Abstract: This study is a computational analysis of the bouncing vibration of a point contact slider model over computer generated random disk surfaces and the design conditions of slider to disk interface ...
