Abstract: A new numerical method of analyzing adhesive contact mechanics between a sphere and a flat with sub-nanometer roughness is presented. In contrast to conventional theories, the elastic deformations ...

Abstract: An extended study of the general characteristics of the bouncing vibrations of a contact recording head slider was done for a single-degree-of-freedom slider model bouncing on a harmonic wavy ...

Abstract: Static and dynamic characteristics of an externally pressurized porous annular thrust gas bearing (PATGB), which has a thin restricted surface layer, are investigated by numerical analysis and ...

Abstract: (1) Equation 4 should be rewritten as Display Formulacf=2ζfMkf,cr=2ζrMkr (4)

Abstract: (1) In Table 2, the parameter values should be changed as follows:M=1.918mg (effective mass including suspension is 1.25 times the slider mass (1.59 mg)).J=2.971×10−13kgm2 (effective moment ...

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 experimentally and theoretically investigated in detail bouncing vibrations of a flying head slider in the near-contact region between the head and disk surface. By changing the Z-height in ...

Abstract: We numerically investigated the characteristics of contact force, adhesion force, and contact stiffness between a smooth contact pad and a small rough surface, such as a current magnetic disk ...

Abstract: This paper describes an improved analytical study of the bouncing vibration of a flying head slider in the near-contact region and gives quantitative designs guideline for realizing a stable ...

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 ...
