... forces ( 3 4 ). Touchdown/takeoff hysteresis and features of the self-excited bouncing vibration of a flying head slider were theoretically elucidated by Ono and Yamane ( 2 3 5 ) based on meniscus adhesion force and friction force. In contrast, Bogy et al. ( 6 7 8 ) attributed the attractive force...
