Abstract
The effects of transverse shear deformation in the tape and wear on the head profile are incorporated into a numerical simulation of the longitudinal head/tape interface. These effects can cause a significant change of the head/tape interface behavior for geometries that experience head/tape contact. The numerical implementation is described and results are compared to experimental measurements of head/tape spacing.
