RT Journal Article T1 Head Media Interaction in Magnetic Recording A1 Friedman, Avner A1 Tello, J. Ignacio AB The tape head interaction in magnetic recording is modelled by a coupled system of a second order differential equation for the pressure and a fourth-order differential equation for the tape deflection. There is also the constraint that the spacing between the head and tape remains positive. In this paper, we study the stationary one-dimensional case and establish the existence of a smooth solution PB Elsevier SN 0022-0396 YR 2001 FD 2001-04-10 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/57007 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/57007 LA eng NO National Science Foundation Grant DS Docta Complutense RD 8 abr 2025
