TY - JOUR AU - Wilburn, Terrence AB - Hard disk drives have to be designed to sustain operational and non-operational shock. There are many analytical models and numerical schemes proposed and many experiments conducted for analyzing the transient impact responses of hard disk drives. The existing researches have been focused on the slider-suspension responses at the head-disk interface in which the linear models have been used and the effects of spindle motor have been ignored. In this study, the complex vibrations of disk of 3.5 in. hard disk drive (HDD) under shock are experimentally investigated. The hammer impact test and linear drop test are conducted for the HDD to study the effect of shock on the disk responses. The results show that the nonlinear rock modes substantially contribute to the vibrations of disk when HDD is under shock impact. The nonlinear properties of the disk responses and the mode damping ratio are evaluated by using empirical mode decomposition approach.
