- Abstract
- This paper presents a finite element method to analyze the free vibration of a flexible HDD (hard disk drive) composed of the spinning disk-spindle system with fluid dynamic bearings (FDBs), the headsuspension-actuator with pivot bearings, and the base plate with complicated geometry. Finite element equations of each component of an HDD are consistently derived with the satisfaction of the geometric compatibility in the internal boundary between each component. The spinning disk, hub and FDBs are modeled by annular sector elements, beam elements and stiffness and damping elements, respectively. It develops a 2-D quadrilateral 4-node shell element with rotational degrees of freedom to model the thin suspension efficiently as well as to satisfy the geometric compatibility between the 3-D tetrahedral element and the 2-D shell element. Base plate, arm, E-block and fantail are modeled by tetrahedral elements. Pivot bearing of an actuator and air bearing between spinning disk and head are modeled by stiffness elements. The restarted Arnoldi iteration method is applied to solve the large asymmetric eigenvalue problem to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the finite element model. Experimental modal testing shows that the proposed method well predicts the vibration characteristics of an HDD. This research also shows that even the vibration motion of the spinning disk corresponding to half-speed whirl and the pure disk mode are transferred to a head-suspension-actuator and base plate through the air bearing and the pivot bearing consecutively. The proposed method can be effectively extended to investigate the forced vibration of an HDD and to design a robust HDD against shock.
