Record Stylus Pressure

Authors: Max, Abraham M.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 3 · Issue 2 · pp. 66–69 · April 1955

Abstract

The classical theory of elasticity predicts that fine-groove records are impossible. It predicts stresses in the records in excess of the ultimate strength of the record material. It is known that the classical theory of elasticity falls far short in describing the mechanical properties of plastics. These properties are discussed along with a qualitative evaluation of their effect on the stresses produced by the stylus.
