Abstract :
The present study is directed towards understanding and improving the mechanical performance of plastic substrates for optical disks under vibration loading. Finite element analysis was conducted to obtain transfer functions relating the properties of the disk material with the vibration performance. An experimental test setup was assembled to measure the vibration response of disks and validate the predictions of the analytical model.
