Numerical simulation and topology optimization of slider air bearing by Li, Qiang

“…Since the first commercial hard disk drive was developed in 1956, the stability of the flying attitude is always an important factor to be considered in the slider air bearing design. The objective of this dissertation is to develop an efficient computational modeling technique for simulating the air bearing slider (ABS) in hard disk drives and ultimately develop an effective topology optimization methodology to systematically and automatically design the air bearing slider with a target of achieving a near-constant flying attitude when the slider moves over the surface of the hard disk drive. …”

Canonical Diffeomorphisms of Manifolds Near Spheres by Wang, Bing, Zhao, Xinrui

“…Abstract For a given Riemannian manifold $$(M^n, g)$$ ( M n , g ) which is near standard sphere $$(S^n, g_{round})$$ ( S n , g round ) in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology and satisfies $$Rc \ge n-1$$ R c ≥ n - 1 , it is known by Cheeger–Colding theory that M is diffeomorphic to $$S^n$$ S n . …”

Bio-based lubricant with additives: Tribological performances in hydrodynamic journal bearing by Norazman, Amanda, Paiman, Zulhanafi, Samion, Syahrullail, Afiq, Muhammad Noor, Muhammad Yazid, Witri, Rasep, Zuraidah

“…Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of bio-based lubricants (BBL), namely, palm mid-olein (PMO) enriched with an antioxidant agent, tertiary-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) and a viscosity improver, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), in journal bearing (JB) applications. Design/methodology/approach: Samples of the BBL were prepared by blending it with TBHQ and EVA at various blending ratios. …”
