S162011 Analytical Study of Reacting Forces of Liquid Meniscus Bridge : Effects of Dynamic Behavior of Contact Line and Contact Angle

Abstract

The flying height of a magnetic head has rapidly decreased and contact between the head slider and the disk surface has become unavoidable A meniscus bridge of liquid lubricant is formed between the head slider and the magnetic disk In the present study, mechanical characteristics of a liquid meniscus bridge confined between vibrating solid surfaces are investigated theoretically considering the dynamic characteristics of the contact line and the contact angle.
