ASSIGNMENT # 01 CONTROL SYSTEM

Hard-Disk Read/Write Head Controller

Using Newton's law, a simple model for the read/write head is the differential equation

where J is the inertia of the head assembly, C is the viscous damping coefficient of the bearings, K is the return spring constant, Ki is the motor torque constant, is the angular position of the head, and i is the input current. Taking the Laplace transform, the transfer function from i to is
