Abstract: In magnetic tape recording it is important to control the tape displacement as it is transported over guides and recording heads. In this paper a numerical solution is presented for the ...

Abstract: The behavior of a nano-scale cylindrical body (e.g., a fiber), lying on a substrate and acted upon by a combination of normal and tangential forces, is the subject of this investigation. As ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis of the fluid mechanics of the air cushion of the air reversers used in web-handling systems is presented. A two-dimensional model of the air flow is derived by averaging ...
