Abstract
The head positioning accuracy of the hard disk drive (HDD) should be improved to meet today's increasing performance demands. Vibration suppression of the arm in the hard disc drive is very important to enhance the servo bandwidth of the head positioning system. In this study, the smart structure is introduced into the hard disk drive to suppress the vibration. It has been expected that technology of smart structure will contribute to the development of small and light-weight mechatronics devices with the required performance. First, modeling of the system is conducted with finite element method (FEM) and modal analysis. Next, the actuator location and the control system are simultaneously optimized using genetic algorithm (GA). Vibration control effect with the proposed vibration control mechanisms has been evaluated by some simulations.
