Abstract
After introducing our previous study of bouncing instability of a flying head slider, we numerically investigated slider dynamics in the near-contact region taking the root-mean-square value and frequency roll-off factor of the micro-waviness as parameters by using 2-degrees-of-freedom slider model, random micro-waviness model and lubricated rough-surface-contact characteristics model. We found that the slider exhibits self-excited bouncing vibration with a frequency close to the lower pitch frequency under small microwaviness but tends to exhibit forced vibration with a resonant frequency in the upper pitch mode as the amplitude of microwaviness increases. If the amount of microwaviness and destabilized sources are reduced sufficiently, there is a contact sliding condition without self-excited and forced bouncing vibration.
