Abstract

The object of the present work is the analysis of head/disk interaction during start/stop and constant speed operation using acoustic emission (AE). The frequency spectrum analysis is performed using the AE signal obtained during the head/disk interaction. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis of the AE signals is used to understand the interaction between the AE signal and the state of contact.
