Abstract
A hard disk drive that includes a wave stringer. The wave stringer can attenuate energy which propagates through a base plate of the disk drive. The wave stringer may be designed by initially analyzing propagation patterns of both acoustic and shock waves applied to the drive. The wave stringer is then designed, constructed and assembled to the disk drive to attenuate critical frequencies at weak points of the disk drive. The wave stringer may have a plurality of ribs designed to vary the mechanical impedance of the drive to attenuate the propagated energy.
