Improvement of component mode synthesis model for vibration analysis of hard disk drives using attachment modes

摘要

I improved the component mode synthesis (CMS) model for free and forced-vibration analyses of hard disk drives using attachment modes. The convergence and the accuracy of the proposed CMS model was improved substantially by applying an attachment mode to a FDB shaft and a pivot shaft in the stationary part model. Different formulations were used for the FDBs and the pivot bearings because of their different damping properties. In the proposed formulation, additional general coordinates corresponding to the attachment modes of the FDB shaft are introduced into the system coordinates; on the other hand, the attachment modes of the pivot shaft moderate the stiffness and damping properties of the pivot bearings. To check the improvement of the convergence and the accuracy, I performed the free and forced-vibration analyses using the previous and proposed CMS models and a full finite element (FE) model. The convergence of the natural frequencies and the frequency response function (FRF) of the disk/spindle system were extremely improved. Moreover, the FRF of the head actuator better matched the full FE model than the previous CMS model when the same number of component modes are used.
