Abstract

In this study, optimum designs of the air-bearing surface (ABS) are achieved using the reduced basis concept which can effectively reduce the number of design variables without cutting down on the design space. Even though the optimization method is easier and more applicable to handle than the trial-and-error method, its efficiency is largely dependent on the number of the design variables. Hence, the reduced basis concept is applied, by which the desired design can be defined as a linear combination of basis designs. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach by obtaining the optimum solutions of the sliders whose target flying heights are 25, 20, and 15nm.
