This article proposes a state-feedback-based optimal law with reset control for two typical kinds of head-positioning systems with nonlinearities of hard disk drives which combine the improved event-triggering reset condition and an optimal reset law design problem. First, a reset control law is proposed to reset the state of the system at the instants or some reset surfaces which have been proved can overcome the linear limitations. The reset surface is considered as a function of event or it can be defined as an event-triggered system, in which some states of the controller are subjected to impulsive actions. Second, a model predictive optimal law is proposed to the design of the after-reset value which was finally calculated through series linear matrix inequalities. Finally, in comparison with recent linear or nonlinear control methods applied to hard disk drives, our proposed approach shows the simplicity in design process and the robustness to nonlinear uncertainties in plant.

Abstract The recent rapid growth in the cloud storage industry has strongly increased the demand for high-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs). Increasing the areal density brings new challenges to the high-accuracy head-positioning control in the next generation HDD development. Triple-stage-actuator (TSA) system is one of the emerging technologies that can achieve higher bandwidth than that of a dual-stage-actuator (DSA) system and improve the track-following performance. In this paper, we focus on the track-following controller design for TSA system with one voice coil motor (VCM) and two piezoelectric (PZT) actuators. Two types of mixed H2/Hinf synthesis methodologies based on model-based optimization and data-driven optimization are proposed to design the track-following controller for the TSA system. The TSA system can increase the bandwidth of the servo system and decrease the sensitivity to disturbances at the low-frequency range. While increasing the stroke limitation and the resonance frequency of the micro-actuator, the 3sigma the position error signals (PES) is reduced. The data-driven controller can achieve comparable head-positioning accuracy to the model-based controller when it converges to a local optimal solution. The simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the TSA systems with a tertiary PZT actuator. We also analyze the effects of stroke limitations and resonance frequencies of the second/third-stage PZT actuators on the head-positioning accuracy. The results might provide a guideline for the TSA mechanical design.

A Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is an inexpensive mass-production product, but the head-positioning control systems of HDDs require nanometer-scale positioning performance. Therefore, we have studied head-positioning control systems of HDD using designs which integrate mechanical and control systems to improve their control performance while curbing cost increases. In this paper, we introduce “disturbance suppression in high-frequency ranges through phase stable design for high-order mechanical resonances” and “high servo-bandwidth design through mode shape design of mechanical resonance” as examples of techniques that have been developed and are easily applied to products.
