An Iterative Learning Control design for Self-ServoWriting in Hard Disk Drives

چکیده
This paper considers the modeling and compensator design for Self-ServoWriting (SSW) process in disk drives. An Iterative Learning Control (ILC) based scheme is established to deal with radial error propagation and improve the quality of written tracks. In the proposed scheme, a feedback controller for track following is first designed to achieve good disturbance attenuation. Then, an ILC structure is applied to generate an external signal, which is injected into the feedback loop in order to compensate for the written-in errors in the previous track while the next track is written. As a result, the error propagation can be contained. The learning controller is synthesized by solving Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) equations to ensure the stability and monotonic convergence of the control algorithm. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme on the error containment which results in good quality written tracks. 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An Iterative Learning Control Design for Self-Servowriting in Hard Disk Drives Using L_1 Optimal Control
L Abstract—This paper presents an Iterative Learning Controller (ILC) design for Self-Servowriting (SSW) process in Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). In SSW, the position and timing information are written onto the disk surface by referring to the previously written servo information. This process is repeated until the whole disk is completely written. The main issue in this process is Radial Error Prop...
متن کاملSuppression of cross-track vibrations using a self-sensing micro-actuator in hard disk drives
In this study we utilize the self-sensing capabilities of piezoelectric micro-actuators in hard disk drives (HDD) to actively suppress in-plane resonance modes of the suspension in an HDD. The self-sensing circuit is based on a tunable capacitance bridge that decouples the control signal from the sensing signal in the micro-actuator. A hybrid modeling technique based on a realization algorithm ...

Missing position error signal sampling data in hard disk drives (HDDs) results in their servo systems having irregular sampling rates (ISRs).With the natural periodicity ofHDDs, which is related to the disk rotation, HDD servo systems with ISRs can be modeled as linear periodically time-varying systems. Based on our previous results, an explicit minimum entropy controller for HDD servos with IS...
