5.5 SQUEEZE FILM DYNAMICS OF PARALLEL, CIRCULAR PLATESThe analytical squeeze film damp<strong>in</strong>g force for parallel, circular plates wasapplied to the equations of motion of the mechanical system. The analyticalequations for the <strong>fluid</strong> pressure for a parallel circular plate with a circular dropfrom chapter 3 were applied to this simulation.In this section, the results of a numerical simulation of the squeeze film<strong>dynamics</strong> are presented. The results from numerous simulations show verysimilar trends. The results presented here are nearly optimal when consider<strong>in</strong>gf<strong>in</strong>al base layer thickness, required actuation forces, and the time to achieve thedesired base layer thickness. The results of the simulation <strong>in</strong> this section showsimilar behavior as <strong>in</strong> the previous section where the solution of the twodimensionalReynolds equation was applied.200018001600base layer thickness, nm14001200100080060040020000 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25 0.3 0.35 0.4 0.45 0.5time, sFigure 5.12 Base layer thickness correspond<strong>in</strong>g to the case of f<strong>in</strong>ite, parallelcircular plates75
