RIA: Mechanics of Self-Pressurized Foil Bearings

这项研究将开发高速磁带存储机构中磁头-磁带相互作用的改进模型。特别是，将对快速移动的柔性磁带和在磁带和记录磁头之间发展的空气箔轴承的耦合动力学进行建模，并将得到闭合形式的解。该模型预计将提供有关压力分布、磁头-磁带分离和其他重要技术参数的信息。

This study will develop an improved model of the head-tape interactions in high-speed magnetic tape storage mechanisms. In particular, the coupled dynamics of the rapidly moving flexible tape and the air foil bearing, which develops between the tape and the recording head, will be modeled and a closed form solution will be developed. The model is expected to provide information about pressure distribution, head-tape separation and other technologically important parameters.
