Abstract

The object of the present work is the acoustic emission energy analysis of subambient pressure tri-pad slider. Head/disk interaction during start/stop and constant speed were detected by using acoustic emission (AE) test system The frequency spectrum analysis is performed using the AE signal obtained during the head/disk interaction Natural frequency analysis was performed using Ansys program. Acoustic emission energy was calculated for the slider modes.
