DESCRIPTION:
amazing mechanical constraints It is perhaps a little surprising that this book was ever written. Bhushan deals with the nitty gritty practicalities of making a disk drive, circa 1996. You might reasonably expect that most of the book's details have deliberately been kept proprietary by the disk manufacturers.But by whatever means, the book was published. You get a wealth of details that might take an
It treats all important practical aspects including friction, interface temperatures, wear, lubrication, lubricants, and surface finishing (machining). This first-of-its kind monograph offers a systematic compilation of current knowledge of tribology as applied to magnetic storage devices. Wherever possible, theories and types of experimental measurements are discussed and compared for corroboration and to further understanding. The increasing demand for higher-density, highly reliable recordings within the magnetic recording industry requires a fundamental understanding of the tribology and mechanics of the magnetic head-medium interface. Many of the theories presented are very general and applicable outside magnetic-storage systems.. In addition, the book incorporates ample experimental data, relevant properties of materials and surfaces, making the book more useful to engineers and scientists working in the field. The book first develops a fundamental understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms before addressing a diversity of practical applications. It is intended for graduate students of tribology and mechanics research workers, and the practicing engineer who needs to solve quickly a tribolo
