Debris development in fretting contacts – Debris particles and debris beds [PDF]
Tribology International, 2020 In this study, the formation and destruction of compacted beds of oxidized debris particles are investigated. Fretting tests of steel specimens were conducted, employing a cylinder-on-flat geometry with displacement amplitude being varied. The debris was examined, both in the form of the debris beds and in the form of loose debris; together, these were

Orbital debris–debris collision avoidance [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2011 We focus on preventing collisions between debris and debris, for which there is no current, effective mitigation strategy. We investigate the feasibility of using a medium-powered (5 kW) ground-based laser combined with a ground-based telescope to prevent collisions between debris objects in low-Earth orbit (LEO).

Debris Thickness of Glaciers in the Everest Area (Nepal Himalaya) Derived from Satellite Imagery Using a Nonlinear Energy Balance Model [PDF]
, 2014 Debris thickness is an important characteristic of debris-covered glaciers in the Everest region of the Himalayas. The debris thickness controls the melt rates of the glaciers, which has large implications for hydrologic models, the glaciers' response to

Including debris cover effects in a distributed model of glacier ablation [PDF]
, 2012 Distributed glacier melt models generally assume that the glacier surface consists of bare exposed ice and snow. In reality, many glaciers are wholly or partially covered in layers of debris that tend to suppress ablation rates.

Metallicity of solar-type stars with debris discs and planets [PDF]
, 2012 Around 16% of the solar-like stars in our neighbourhood show IR-excesses due to debris discs and a fraction of them are known to host planets. We aim to determine in a homogeneous way the metallicity of a sample of stars with known debris discs and ...

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

Estimation of magnitudes of debris flows in selected torrential watersheds in Slovenia [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper the application of different methods for estimation of magnitudes of rainfall-induced debris flows in 18 torrents in the Upper Sava River valley, NW Slovenia, and in 2 torrents in Pohorje, N Slovenia is described. Additional verification of

A Survey for Massive Giant Planets in Debris Disks with Evacuated Inner Cavities [PDF]
, 2007 The commonality of collisionally replenished debris around main sequence stars suggests that minor bodies are frequent around Sun-like stars. Whether or not debris disks in general are accompanied by planets is yet unknown, but debris disks with large ...

Representing moisture fluxes and phase changes in glacier debris cover using a reservoir approach [PDF]
, 2014 Due to the complexity of treating moisture in supraglacial debris, surface energy balance models to date have neglected moisture infiltration and phase changes in the debris layer.
