JOT 1980 Abstract
Analysis of the Flexible Disk Head/Interface
G.G. Adams
Summary
The response of a rotating flexible magnetic disk interacting with a base plate and
read/write head is analyzed. The disk deflection due to the base plate as well as the
foundation stiffness are determined. Using that as a reference configuration, the effect
of the read/write head is included coupling the disk deflection to the air bearing
equation at the disk/head interface. The results are pressure and spacing contours in
the interface region and disk deflection throughout the entire disk.
