An efficient scheme was developed to analyze the dynamics of a magnetic head slider during the unloading process. The nonlinearity of the air bearing forces and moments was described by analytical expressions obtained from a surface fitting procedure. Combined with a dual-scale suspension model, the force and moment functions determined can be used to obtain the instantaneous flying attitude of the slider and the unloading time with a very short computation time, thus providing a way of exploring a large number of parameter values of the suspension stiffness matrix.
