The nano-scale active air-bearing slider dynamics has been widely investigated for stability and reliability improvement. However, the uncertainty quantification has been lacking. This paper highlights the nonlinear stochastic dynamics perspectives on the instability of TFC sliders during the touch-down process. A nonlinear stochastic dynamics model is developed to quantitatively study instability of TFC sliders at the near contact regime and to explain the nonlinear stochastic dynamic behaviors of TFC sliders at the touch-down process. The simulation results reveal the extent of uncertainty.
