Erratum: “Improved Analysis of Unstable Bouncing Vibration and Stabilizing Design of Flying Head Slider in Near-Contact Region” [Journal of Tribology, 2007, 129(1), pp. 65–74]

Abstract

(1) In Table 2, the parameter values should be changed as follows:M=1.918mg (effective mass including suspension is 1.25 times the slider mass (1.59 mg)).J=2.971×10−13kgm2 (effective moment of inertia including suspension is 1.36 times that of the slider only (2.19×10−13kgm2)).The mass and moment of inertia of the slider are important parameters for determining the slider instability. If the mass and moment of inertia listed in Table 2 are used, the slider does not become unstable.
