Aero-Induced Vibration Analysis of a Rotating Disk using a Vacuum Chamber

진공 실험을 통한 공기와 회전 디스크의 상호 작용 및 진동 특성

The analytical and experimental studies on aerodynamic flutter instability of rotating disks in information storage devices are investigated. The theoretical analysis uses a fluid-structure model where the aerodynamic force on the rotating disk is represented in terms of lift and damping forces. Based on the analytical approach, it is shown that the backward natural frequency of the disk is equal to that of the case without aerodynamic effect at the flutter onset speed. In post-flutter regions, the natural frequencies are larger than those in vacuum conditions without aerodynamic effect. The analytical predictions on the natural frequencies of rotating disks with/without aerodynamic effect are experimentally verified using a vacuum chamber and ASMO optical disks.
