Abstract

To ensure the reliability of DVDR-P and DVD-ROM, it is imperative to remedy the unrecoverable creep deformation and/or relaxation of the holding force of an optical disc holder. To predict the deformation of an optical disc holder, a deformation analysis of an 80 mm optical disc holder considering the creep characteristics of 3 plastic materials has been conducted. Subsequently, the results by this Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are experimentally verified. A disc holder inserted in a cartridge case is kept in a chamber of $60^{\circ}C$ with 90 % humidity for 24 hours. The arm span and the holding force of the disc holder are measured after being left for another 24 successive hours at a room temperature and under normal humidity. The predicted results by FEA are in good agreement with experimentally measured values.
