Width-Wise Variation Of Magnetic Tape Pack Stresses, Jonathan A. Wickert, Y.M. Lee May 2002

Width-Wise Variation Of Magnetic Tape Pack Stresses, Jonathan A. Wickert, Y.M. Lee

Jonathan A. Wickert

A model is developed for predicting the stress and displacement fields within a magnetic tape pack, where those quantities are allowed to vary in both the pack's radial and transverse (cross-tape) directions. As has been the case in previous analyses based upon one-dimensional wound roll models, the present approach accounts for the anisotropic and nonlinear constitutive properties of the layered tape, and the incremental manner in which the pack is wound. Further, such widthwise variation effects as differential hub compliance and nonuniform winding tension, which can be significant in data cartridge design, are also treated in the model. The pack …


Stress Field In Finite Width Axisymmetric Wound Rolls, Jonathan A. Wickert, Y.M. Lee Mar 2002

Stress Field In Finite Width Axisymmetric Wound Rolls, Jonathan A. Wickert, Y.M. Lee

Jonathan A. Wickert

A model is developed for predicting the stress field within a wound roll of web material, in which the radial, circumferential, transverse, and shear stresses can vary in both the roll's radial and cross-web (transverse) directions. As has been the case in previous wound roll stress analyses based on one-dimensional models, the present approach accounts for the anisotropic and nonlinear material properties of the layered web material, and the incremental manner in which the roll is wound. In addition, the present development accounts for arbitrary cross-sectional geometry and material of the core, and the presence of nonuniform tension across the …


Transient Thermomechanical Interactions Of Shaft-Bushing Pair In Bearings - A Finite Element Study, Rajesh Krithivasan Jan 2002

Transient Thermomechanical Interactions Of Shaft-Bushing Pair In Bearings - A Finite Element Study, Rajesh Krithivasan

LSU Master's Theses

This thesis presents a finite element parametric study of the transient thermomechanical interactions of shaft-bushing pairs in bearings to gain insight into the nature of two categories of failures encountered in practice. The first type of failure deals with occurrence of the so-called thermally induced seizure (TIS) during the start-up period followed by an investigation of TIS due to a transient flow-disturbance. The second part deals with the thermomechanical interactions of pin-bushing assembly under heavy oscillating loads where the failure is by TIS and/or thermal galling. An extensive set of parametric simulations covering a wide range of loads, speeds, operating …
